Contemporary Preventive Care of Adolescents from the Aspect of Occupational Medicine Šamánek J., Baumbruk J., Cikrt M. SZÚ, Centrum hygieny práce a nemocí z povolání, Praha, |
|
Summary: The paper deals with the working conditions of adolescents in particular apprentices and shortcomings and
preventive medical care of these young people according to contemporary legislation. The work is based on results
implemented by the hygiene service on request of the chief hygiene officer of the Czech Republic. Occupational
medical care of adolescents having vocational training is at present very frequently inadequate as regards extent
and standard. If it is provided at all, it is reduced to preventive medical examinations. These are moreover of
limited value if adolescents are involved who are training for an occupation where exposure to noxious factors
forms an integral part. The character of these examinations is often set and the conclusions are formulated without
the doctor knowing the working conditions and working risks of these occupations in actual workplaces. A solution
of the problem is adoption of appropriate legislation and aimed postgraduate training.
