Abstract

The paper is a survey of literature data on the activities of physicians and their attitudes towards the effects of work and working environment on health, from ancient times to first half of 18th century. Special reference is made to the work of physicians in the city of Varaždin from the middle of 18th century, when Varaždin was a capital of Croatia, and how the revealed ideas influenced their everyday practice to the end of 19th century. With the development of manufacture, the physicians directed their activities towards prevention of occupational hazards. It was as early as then that one of them came up with the idea to occupationally rehabillitate
disabled persons, blind and deaf-mute, who until then had been considered unfit for any kind of work.
