  • Title: [Working conditions and health status of railway cashiers].
    Author: Pankova VB, Kopirovskiĭ KM, Poliakova VA, Gipp EK, Andreeva IV.
    Journal: Gig Sanit; 2003; (4):23-7. PubMed ID: 12934277.
    Abstract:
    The paper presents the data of clinical and hygienic studies of railway cashiers' health. The main deleterious factors of their working conditions are poor microclimatic conditions, bacterial inoculation of the working area air, a forced working posture, and a high vocal load under mental stress. There is a significant prevalence of nervous, obstetric, gynecological, thyroid, and vocal diseases and oral dysbacteriosis among the workers of this professional group. There is evidence for the necessity of including the job of a railway cashier into the List of decreed contingents for periodical medical examinations.
