Objective
Starting from the established fact that the workplace is a suitable environment in which to counter the adverse effect of this human factor on the safety of persons and plant, the project aims to assess the effect of alcohol consumption on accidents at work by analysing accident causes and the behaviour of the workers concerned with a view to designing and implementing an in-house education and prevention programme intended to reduce levels of alcohol-related accidents and absenteeism and to improve safety standards.
In the present research work the dimensions and characteristics of the alcohol problem in our enterprise have been studied.
We have analysed its consequences in accidentally, poliaccidentality and absenteeism. There are some conclusions:
1) The percentage of injured workers is bigger when there is an alcohol problem
2) The mean of worker's accidents shows the tendency to increase as the alcohol problem increases its gravity
3) The poliaccidentally is significantly bigger in the group of workers with alcohol dependence
4) The alcohol problem with its dimensions of excessive consumption, abuse and alcohol dependence are variables that increase significantly the absenteeism.
Finally, we offer the development of our Plan for Prevention and Treatment of Alcoholism adaptable to other enterprises.
The causes of occupational accidents will be investigated with particular reference to accidents in connection with jobs which involve a particular risk to the men directly engaged in them or to others. To this end, a database will be set up to allow the causes investigated to be related to the factors associated with human behaviour at work: compliance with safety standards, accident-proneness, absenteeism, productivity and accident rates, job attitudes and aptitude, etc.
A programme, which is largely practical in content, will then be designed for the education, the prevention and the treatment of alcoholism aimed at all workers but including special measures for those who have problems of alcohol abuse. Confidentiality in access to, and processing of, the information will be ensured by using persons whose professional code affords the necessary guarantees.
