Health impairment due to alcohol use and abuse is well known, in terms of relationship with traffic accidents and work accidents. In Italy almost 10 per cent of accidents at work involve intoxicated people injuring themselves and innocent victims. Alcohol abuse is a factor involved in determining severe accidents in the construction industry and epidemiological studies demonstrated a relationship between an elevated alcohol use and severity of accidents. Since in the Province of Belluno alcohol consumption may be elevated also at work, the two Occupational Health Units (SPISAL) in the province organized a campaign of information and surveillance against alcohol consumption at work in the construction industry. This report shows the campaign results, mainly in terms of breath alcohol tests performed in construction workers.
After an extensive information campaign we inspected 50 sites, where 105 construction companies were at work, and tested 294 workers by breath alcohol test. No-one refused the test. Only 2.7% construction workers were positive for the breath alcohol test, and the levels were not elevated. This study shows that the construction workers in Belluno Province are responsible drinkers and are well aware of the policy of prohibition of alcohol consumption at work.
饮酒及酗酒对健康造成的损害广为人知，这与交通事故和工作事故都有关系。在意大利，近10%的工作事故涉及醉酒者自伤或伤及无辜受害者。酗酒是导致建筑行业严重事故的一个因素，流行病学研究表明饮酒量增加与事故严重程度之间存在关联。由于在贝卢诺省，工作场合的饮酒量也可能较高，该省的两个职业健康单位（SPISAL）组织了一场针对建筑行业工作场合饮酒的宣传和监测活动。本报告展示了该活动的成果，主要是针对建筑工人进行呼气酒精测试的结果。
在开展广泛的宣传活动后，我们检查了50个工地，有105家建筑公司在这些工地作业，通过呼气酒精测试对294名工人进行了检测。无人拒绝测试。呼气酒精测试结果呈阳性的建筑工人仅占2.7%，且酒精含量不高。这项研究表明，贝卢诺省的建筑工人饮酒适度，并且充分了解工作场合禁酒政策。
