Preparing a special occupational health follow-up a cross sectional study in 304 dust exposed workers was performed. According to these screening results 23% of the workers examined revealed as fit only under special conditions. Clinical examinations confirmed these judgements except a small group of 2.9%. In confirmed cases hygienic measures in regard of the working places and/or medical treatments were started. Effectivity will be studied in a longitudinal manner.
