Each participant was interviewed afterwards by the school nurses in three state-owned professional schools where the apprentices attended their classes. Ninety-five per cent of the respondents enjoyed excellent health, 28 cases had nervous system or psychological problems, 17 cases had problems of a locomotor nature, 12 subjects had gastrointestinal or endocrinological symptoms, and there was one with a past history of a malignant disease. Twelve cases also had respiratory symptoms or diagnoses. One hundred and nineteen apprentices reported that they had been troubled by the workplace. Exposure to solvents, chemicals in general, dust, smoke and noise were often mentioned as causes. Thirty-eight of them had contacted their family physician in connection with these problems. The cohort had experienced, mostly during their first year, 191 cases of accident necessitating medical care. Cuts, shocks and falls were the most common occurrences. Meat cutters and butchers had the highest frequency of accidents. Near-accidents had been experienced so far by 46 per cent of the respondents. At the interviews, school nurses provided counsel and intervened in flagrant cases of occupational risks. It seems that an ordinary medical certificate does not predict accident-proneness or possible medical problems, while in-school health programmes could provide rapid intervention and support.</p>","PeriodicalId":76684,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Society of Occupational Medicine","volume":"41 1","pages":"23-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/occmed/41.1.23","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13166993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The majority of GPs felt that Occupational Health Departments acted in the best interests of their patients; but felt that occupational physicians sometimes meddle in primary care. The views of GPs on the acceptability of occupational health involvement in health screening, education and specific vaccinations was varied, with enthusiasm for health education and very limited screening, but little enthusiasm for vaccinations. The overall view of occupational health was positive, but specific areas of communication and overlap of function need to be explored in more depth. The new GP contract places specific requirements on GPs to undertake health screening and to reach targets for vaccination and cervical cytology. If the quality of the interface between occupational health services and primary care can be improved, both specialties would benefit.</p>","PeriodicalId":76684,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Society of Occupational Medicine","volume":"41 1","pages":"34-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/occmed/41.1.34","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13168936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All of those completing questionnaires were invited to attend the occupational health department for prick tests and lung function tests. Just over one half of those who were invited attended. Although upper respiratory symptoms were common, only eye symptoms and wheeze were significantly more prevalent in those who used non-vacuum drills. Nasal symptoms were commoner in those who had spent less than ten years in the profession. Throat symptoms and multiple symptoms occurred more commonly in the 17 per cent of attenders who had positive prick tests to trichophytons.

This paper concentrates on occupational health problems in the sugar industry, which exists in 40 countries, mostly in the Third World. Sugar cane workers have a high level of occupational accidents and are exposed to the high toxicity of pesticides. They may also have an increased risk of lung cancer, possibly mesothelioma. This may be related to the practice of burning foliage at the time of cane-cutting. Bagassosis is also a problem specific to the industry as it may follow exposure to bagasse (a by-product of sugar cane). The workers may also be affected by chronic infections which reduce their productivity. The legal framework for their protection is often inadequate.
