| Resumen |
Three-part series reporting on the results of a survey of current medical surveillance practices in the US, conducted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 1990-1991. The study involved a detailed telephone survey of 7177 establishments of all sizes and in various industries (Phase I), as well as a follow-up survey of 238 establishments with medical surveillance programmes (Phase II) and 25 site visits to locations with such programmes (Phase III). These articles, richly illustrated with statistics, discuss various aspects of these practices: their prevalence (most common among larger establishments), purpose (health protection, establishment of physical aptitude for the job) and effects (improvements in employee relations, and reductions in injury rates and insurance costs). Further commentary on the survey is provided in an article on pp.698-700 by Hathaway J.A., entitled Medical surveillance: Extent and effectiveness? |
