title: [The effect of a preventive health care program in a textile plant].
abstract: A two-month field experiment was carried out on a sample of 95 women spinners and weavers in a textile plant. In the experimental group, which consisted of 54 workers, a programme of four preventive health measures was applied. The workers were asked to wear a combination of ear-muffs and cotton-wool offering optimal hearing protection and to take up individual mini programmes of physical exercise at work; they were offered a meal of the Pliva dietetic preparation Vitamalt before work and Donat-Mg natural mineral water from Zdravilisce Rogaska Slatina as a magnesium supplement. The measures from the programme were accepted and respected by 85-94% of the workers. As a result, fatigue at work was significantly reduced, and the subjectively estimated work satisfaction was markedly improved. A statistically insignificant trend towards the rise of productivity was also noticed during the period of programme application.
