Medical prophylaxis for Swiss nuclear workers.
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.
