Abstract
In a prospective study of health hazards in work with production and distribution of electricity a young cohort of 529 electrical workers has been health examined after three years of work in the electric power industry. Prevalence of symptoms and discomfort and results from clinical tests have been compared to base line data previously collected by means of different questionnaires and clinical tests at the time of employment. The follow-up period reported here is three years, i.e. the second health examination in this prospective study. A tendency towards increased neurastenic symptoms and musculoskeletal complains was noted over the three years, mostly in the age group 30-39 years. The musculoskeletal complains were considered work related in a higher degree than all other complains. Data from the clinical tests were within the normal variation. As a whole this young cohort was healthy. In future analyses the individual comparisons over time and comparisosn with other occupational groups will be of interest to be able to judge occupational hazards in relation to health of electrical workers in the electrical power industry. Reports on different aspects of health in relation to specific exposures at work will be available in future analyses. (25 refs., 12 tabs.,
