Resumen
The aim of this research paper is to study the psychosocial risks which are present in the construction sector in Spain, as well as their consequences for construction workers, in conjunction with drug addiction and the use of substances to which this group is exposed, before comparing the Spanish results with the European findings obtained from the third ESENER survey. To this end, a quantitative study has carried out of the research indicators based on the survey, just like that performed in third ESENER survey’s case, in order to be able to extract the results from both studies and compare them, whilst focusing upon Spain’s profile. The results obtained reveal the importance of preventing these psychosocial risks, with worrying data concerning the level of stress among workers, along with the workers’ legal obligation to participate in health and safety matters, which only a low percentage of companies in the sector fulfil. On top of this, the alarming level of substance use during the working day must also be considered as must its involvement in workplace accidents. In conclusion, these kind of risks must be incorporated in workplace assessments, and companies must be equipped with the resources to prevent them, as well as implementing training activities and campaigns to raise awareness about the dangers of consuming substances during the working day.
