| Abstract |
This report is based on the results of factory inspections, individual and group interviews and a research project carried out in the printing industry in 1980. The description of working conditions concentrates on the type of work and stress combinations (noise, dangerous materials, physical stress, monotony, responsibility, time constraints, night and shift work) present in the printing industry. Various factory sizes (according to the number of employees), printing technologies, machine equipment and types of products are considered. The combinations of factors mentioned are reduced to three ideal types, forming the framework of the report: magazine production using photogravure printing (large enterprises), newspaper production using relief printing (medium-sized enterprises), job-production using offset printing (small enterprises). Presentation of applied or recommended measures for the reduction of stress. |
