I don't see a problem with equating that a level of alcohol in the blood that makes you unsafe to drive is also a level that makes you unsafe on a construction site. At least in the UK it is not zero-tolerance for alcohol , unlike some of the Scandinavian countries.

There is a zero tolerance for alcohol in D + A tests, so while it's ok to drive having downed 2 pints it's not ok to work on a construction site.
