title: [Alcohol levels determinations in workers communities: a standardised practice proposal].
abstract: Italian law 125/2001 implementation requires to Occupational Health Physicians to carry out alcohol levels checks in the workplaces. Firstly, this contribution proposes to specify the methodological differences between breathing alcohol concentration, BrAC, and blood alcohol concentration, BAC, and also to show the different sampling strategies. Therefore, a standardised practice proposal for alcohol levels determinations in workers communities is presented, in the contest of a modern Occupational Health services "integrated quality system".
