Sažetak
The research was conducted on 409 railway workers who were examined in a period of 5 years at the Institution for Health Care Dr. Mijač. The aim was to analyse the type and type of medical examination, assessment of work ability and to establish the reasons why workers were temporarily or permanently incapable. 3.3% of examinations included women and 96.7% men, probably due to the specifics of the railway jobs, and the largest number of examinations belonged to the age group 41-62. Periodic examinations were performed most frequently, at which the most frequent assessment was capable of work. At intentional and control examinations, the most common assessment was also capable. Grades capable, temporarily incapable, incapable were most often made at periodic examinations. Some workers were temporarily incapacitated only once because their diagnosis required short-term treatment, and some multiple times as long as their disease was in the treatment phase and may be able or incapable at the end of treatment depending on treatment outcome. Permanently incapacitated workers were declared after the treatment was completed, and the health condition of the workers did not meet the requirements of the health ability of the workplace or in some cases due to age. Considering the psychological and physical complexity of the railway work, it is important to identify in a timely manner the diseases and conditions of railway workers that restrict the performance of work in a safe way for themselves and for the environment. It is important to emphasize the importance of previous examinations which should immediately eliminate inadequate workers in terms of medical fitness, and subsequently periodic and control and extraordinary examinations, which monitor possible changes in health status and thus reduce the possibility of incidents, injuries and occupational diseases.
