18 Using breath sample to find blood alcohol concentration

(1) For the national law, part 3 and this part, if the concentration of alcohol in a rail safety worker’s breath is a particular number of grams of alcohol for each 210 litres of breath, the worker’s blood alcohol concentration (
"BAC" ) is to be regarded as being that number of grams of alcohol for each 100 ml of blood.

(2) A device used to conduct a preliminary breath test is taken to be for the purpose of providing an indication of a rail safety worker’s BAC, or an indication of whether or not a rail safety worker has the prescribed concentration of alcohol, whether the device gives the indication directly or enables it to be derived under subsection (1).

(3) A breath analysing instrument is taken to be for the purpose of ascertaining a rail safety worker’s BAC by analysis of a sample of the worker’s breath, whether the instrument gives the BAC directly as the analysis result or enables it to be derived under subsection (1).
