| Abstract |
Description of a new system of classifying biological agents that may cause occupational diseases. The system comprises a classification based on the principles of taxonomy (from viruses to vertebrates) and a classification on the basis of workplace characteristics. The first gives data on 83 agents: Latin and Polish names, occurrence, means of transmission, routes of entry, effects on the human body and categories of workers exposed. In the second, the symbols adopted for the data on each agent are attributed to 208 workplaces, arranged by category of occupational and branch of industry. The classification, which also includes an appendix containing a descriptive list of methods for studying the workplace and for the periodic medical examination of workers, is intended to help in diagnosis, treatment and prevention. |
