Abstract

The investigation is based on the establishment of the critical work time by the subjective estimation method on the graphic scale and the introduction of a special break of active rest in mechanical workshop of the Steelworkers Sisak. The new break lasted for 20 minutes, and instead of corrective-compensatory exercises accompanied by music, the recreational games chosen by workers themselves were applied. This resulted in the reduction of the meal time break to 200 minutes as well as its switching to one hour later.
The data obtained indicate that the introduction of the enlarged rest time and of two breaks does not reduce effects in work. On the contrary, they offer a satisfaction to workers and reduce monothony and the difficulties caused by the fulfillment of work tasks at the criterial work time period - between the fifth and the sixth work-hour - when they manifest themselves most.
