    Abstract:
    Choice of profession in line with natural liking or aptitude for a certain type of work and physical fitness is considered as a proper one. The aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness of pre-placement examinations of juvenile leaving primary schools. The study covered: (1) 210 students of textile and clothing schools; (2) 70 students from special care classes of the textile school; and (3) 312 graduates from primary schools applying for admission to textile and clothing schools. The study was carried out at the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine, Lodz, Poland. The reported subjective symptoms were usually limited to the headache (27%). The most prevalent abnormalities were visual organ impairments. Within the group of special care students from the textile school, scoliosis and functional disturbances of the nervous system were detected. The study revealed that both the range of pre-placement examinations of juvenile and the recognition of the criteria for certifying work capability are inadequate.
