Default [OT]Drinking on Duty

Whilst the driver of a tube train recently got caught I wonder how
widespread drinking alcohol on duty actually is. Right now I'm
connected to wifi in Soho Square. This is next to a very large
Crossrail construction works. Many of the workmen from Crossrail in
orange or yellow hi-viz jackets etc. have their lunch there. Many are
drinking from cans of strong larger. OK - its dusty work but ... I
wonder how many workers have been killed on such construction sites
from their colleagues drinking alcohol at lunch-time? CJB.


There has been one fatality on Crossrail, and I've not seen any
suggestion that alcohol was involved, so presumably the answer is zero?
