Abstract

The link between drinking and consequent injuries during job activities has been stresses by the most important international organizations and by ISTAT. Luckily, the low 125/01 has opened to"occupational doctor"the possibility of analysing the alcohol related risks among particular working classes, i.e. hospital workers. Thus, it has been conducted a survey in our Hospital in order to understand the entity of the alcohol related risk. The 32.59 of the sample was classified as teetotallers, 45.81% was in the range of low risk probability, while the 24.58% was in the high risk one. It has also been noticed a significant link between the highest level of risk and male employees, but nothing in relation with age or the type of job. In conclusion, this study has represented the first step for our next training programs to reduce the alcohol related risks and give a support to those workers who have already drinking problems.
