Influência do consumo de álcool no desempenho dos trabalhadores de obras da construção civil na cidade de São Carlos

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influence of alcohol consumption on the performance of construction workers and what are the measures provided by construction companies in the prevention, identification and minimization of problems related to alcohol consumption. To reach the objectives of the study, a bibliographical research (for theoretical foundation and instrumentalization for data articulation) and a case studies in 03 works in the city of São Carlos / SP were carried out, characterizing itself from the point of view of its objectives as Descriptive research, transversal, quantitative. The sociodemographic profile, the pattern of alcohol consumption and the occurrence of accidents (of the last 12 months) were drawn from the 42 workers who composed the sample. This study allowed us to conclude that the pattern of alcohol consumption was predictive of the occurrence of delays, absenteeism, work accident, labor withdrawal and task execution time. It is also concluded that companies only adopt educational actions and that these are insufficient in the prevention, identification and minimization of problems related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages.
