Abstract
This is a report from a part of the occupational hygiene assessment and evaluation of health effects in a study on health hazards among workers in the production and distribution of electricity. The report provides a description of the individual evaluation of working conditions, the degree of discomfort and subjective symptomathology at the follow-up study in relation to baseline data collected three years previously. The workers were less exposed to physical work loads but had a more demanding work organization at the follow-up study. Several work environment factors, including those occurring more rarely, were experienced as more annoying. The social support was not quite as pronounced as before. About half of the studied group had met with at least one accident during the three year period and the most common cause was physical overload. There was a general increase in the occurrence of symptoms, mainly musculoskeletal disorders, fatigue and headache. The musculoskeletal disorders were generally related to the working conditions. The workers experienced their jobs as more pressing and stressful at the follow-up than before.
