title: [Occupational medicine in European countries and in Yugoslavia].
abstract: A recent publication on occupational health services in European countries prepared by the World Health Organization is reviewed. On the basis of guidance by the international organizations, the overall objectives of occupational health services are embodied in principles which are implemented in various ways in the practical activities undertaken in each country. The functions of occupational health services, organizational models, coverage, personnel, support systems (industrial hygiene, ergonomics, psychology, clinical occupational medicine) as well as research, training and funding are discussed. Comparison is made with the actual situation and development of occupational health service in Croatia with special reference to the conclusions drawn at a round table discussion organized by the Association of Occupational Health of the Croatian Medical Society in Pazin, in April 1991.
