Fifteen to 20 % of fatal work-related accidents would be connected to the use of alcohol, psychotrops or narcotics. Many constraints restrain the systematic detection of addictive behaviour at work. The restraints can be financial, ethical, technical or laid down in the regulations. The occupational physician remains the main actor in the prevention of the risks caused by those behaviours.
