Prevention in the workplace of the use of alcohol and drugs
1. General considerations
Health and Safety at Work (HSW) in Portugal - A decline in the last two years, despite the progress made in previous years; - HSW still seen as a cost factor by the majority of companies;- Job uncertainty and social and domestic situations increase the risks in the workplace;- Portugal is still one of the European countries with the highest rates of occupational accidents and fatalities.

Prevention in the workplace of the use of alcohol and drugs
Healthcare in Portugal- In recent years, the austerity policy has affected all ministries, including the Health Ministry;- Reorganisation of public health bodies and their staff. Because of low salaries, doctors and nurses are leaving the country;- Huge increase in the number of patients per GP; rising costs and increased use of medicines;- This, together with the rising cost of living, means that people take less care of themselves.

Prevention in the workplace of the use of alcohol and drugs
1. General considerations
The reference framework –- Very good and appropriate regulatory framework;- Individual health is at the centre of all policies;- All treatment is patient-centred;- Diagnosis, risk analysis, complementarity between various stakeholders (public and private) and the authorities;- Very good progress made in this question by the Drug Dependence and Addiction Institute (IDT) / Department for Action on Addictive Behaviours (SICAD); The Euridice project has helped considerably!- Major contribution from the social partners

Prevention in the workplace of the use of alcohol and drugs
The reference framework - Importance of an integrated plan, imposing a link between public agencies and between the latter and private bodies;- Importance of a link, including at local level, with all the relevant stakeholders;- In the workplace, ensure that workers and their representatives participate and contribute;- Importance of a link with occupational physicians and ensuring an open corporate culture (still too infrequent).

Prevention in the workplace of the use of alcohol and drugs
The reference framework – problems to be overcomeAt structural and policy level- In Portugal there is a need for closer links between the Labour Inspectorate (ACT) and the authority responsible for health at work (Directorate General of Health + SICAD).- The reduction in funding for the HSW policy means that little progress can be made in support of prevention or intervention measures.

Prevention in the workplace of the use of alcohol and drugs
The reference framework – problems to be overcomeAt structural and policy levelIn Portugal, reduced importance placed on HSW as a result of: - a reduction in the operational conditions of the ACT; - a reduction in the number of labour inspectors;- a transfer of responsibilities to local health centres (for primary occupational health care)- opting to privatise health care and HSW services – with its risks and consequences

Prevention in the workplace of the use of alcohol and drugs
The reference framework – problems to be overcomeAt structural and policy level- An enormous amount of work needed to convince workers; and companies too, with the cost involved seen as an additional obstacle;- Addiction and alcoholism still not accepted as an illness by most people;- Problem of trust and confidentiality;- Important for everyone in the company to work together
