摘要:
Previous studies have demonstrated that some workers tend to ignore the risk that may arise from performing
an activity under the influence of alcohol. The main objective of this study was toassess the relationship between the risk
perception of a sample of Portuguese construction workers and their reported and measured alcohol consumption. Risk
perception and self-reported consumption were evaluated through a questionnaire applied to a sample of 100 construction
workers. Simultaneously, the blood- alcohol level of all the study subjects was detected. Given the obtained results, it was
possible to conclude that workers with a lower risk perception seem to also be the highest alcohol consumers. The obtained
results will, expectantly, help companies create reliable programs to eradicate alcohol consumption at work.
