| Abstract |
Report on preventive medical examination of 90 glassblowers, following the principles laid down by the Mutual Industrial Accident Insurance Associations (Berufsgenossenschaften) in the Federal Republic of Germany: workers examined, method (anamnesis, physical examination, radiography, lung function tests, ECG, ergometry), analysis of results. The report concerns principally the results of measurements of heart rate and arterial blood pressure during ergometric tests. Evaluation of work aptitude should be based on normal workload for the occupation. An effort of 120W continued during 5min was observed to involve serious cardio-vascular hazards. |
