title: Medical prophylaxis for Swiss nuclear workers.
abstract: Medical prophylaxis for Swiss nuclear workers is prescribed by law, as for all other persons occupationally exposed to radiation. Medical examinations including questions about the personal history, a physical examination and blood counts take place on entering the job and each year thereafter. Follow-up after leaving the job is not done. With the coming new legislation, medical prophylaxis will be better adjusted to the latest requirements.
