Italian term or phrase: colpa per assunzione del lavoratore
Hello all,

From a chapter on health and safety and liabilities in healthcare settings, when handling hazardous drugs.
Talking about the H&S duties of staff handling dangerous products.

La tematica e' la *colpa per assunzione del lavoratore*, in cui il lavoratore si comporta in modo “abnorme”, al di fuori dai “protocolli” di comportamento - sono i casi in cui l’adozione delle misure di protezione non scongiura il rischio d’infortunio.

"worker's own fault" doesn't sound right. "Worker at fault"? Is there a specific term for a worker who deliberately causes sef-injury (e.g. deliberately drinks an injectable solution of highly concentrated chemotherapy drugs)?

worker misconduct
Explanation:
I would be cautious about interpreting such behavior as "willful misconduct" - it could also include simple carelessness, not necessarily deliberate, but a failure to follow protocol nevertheless.

Could this expression work?
colpa per assunzione means that the worker decides to disrepect the rules, although he known the rules for managing certain substances perfectly well. In other words, he takes the risk for his own behaviour.
