🔍 Key Concepts

• Serious Marine Incident (SMI) testing requirements in 46 CFR Part 4 • Difference between alcohol testing time limits and drug testing time limits after an SMI • Why alcohol must be tested sooner than drugs after an incident

💭 Think About

• Think about how quickly alcohol leaves the body and why regulations would require a shorter time frame for alcohol testing than for drug testing. • Recall the specific CFR section that talks about SMI chemical testing and compare the stated hours for alcohol vs. drugs. • Ask yourself: which option best reflects an urgent requirement, but still allows for some delay if safety of the vessel and crew must be handled first?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Part 4, Subpart C the exact hour limit specified for alcohol testing after an SMI. • Do not confuse the alcohol testing time frame with the drug testing time frame (they are different, and the drug time frame is longer). • Confirm that the time frame is measured from the time of the incident, not from when the Coast Guard is notified.
