This study was conducted for investigating the status of management of preemployment health examination and to have an effect on the worker's employment. Health managers of 103 companies in Incheon metropolitan city and Gyeonggi were interviewed by telephone. Of 103 companies, 67(65.1%) said they don't hire the applicants who have an active pulmonary tuberculosis, 80(77.7%) companies said they health HBV carrier is acceptable but active HBV carrier is not 29(28.2%) companies said they don't hire the applicants who have a hypertension or diabetes mellitus, 42(40.8%) companies said they don't hire the applicants who have a hearing disturbance. If HIVD is suspicious in X-ray lumbar-sacral region, 37(78.7% of 47 companies) said they do not hire the applicants. 29(35% of 83 companies) said they cancel the employment of the applicants who are suspicious of noise induced hearing loss on preplacement health examination. From our survey, preemployment health examination was utilizing mainly as a tool for the selection of health employees who don't have a disease. Furthermore, in many companies, additional test items are being included and getting more strict the selection criteria for preemployment health examination. For the right use of preemployment health examination, author suggested that further studies were needed to select the adequate test items and establish the reasonable criteria for preemployment health examination.

Primary screening test for serum HBsAg by RPHA from 4,805 persons who were clinically well through preemployment examination for the period of one calendar year of 1983 revealed 476 (9.9%) positive individual carriers. There were no significant differences in distribution of positives of serum HBsAg by age group, profession, or province area. Among positives of serum HBsAg, 356 (74.8%) showed normal findings and 120 (25.2%) showed abnormal findings in liver function test, respectively. Radioimmunoassay was done in 169 positives of HBsAg and RIA detected 10 negative persons who were positive by RPHA revealing 5.9% of false positive rate and 94.1% of sensitivity of RPHA. In RIA profile of HBV markers, pattern I (HBsAg+, Anti-HBe+) was 46.6%, pattern II (HBsAg+, HBeAg+) was 33.3%, pattern III (HBsAg+only) was 18.3%, pattern IV (HBsAg+, HBeAg+, Anti-HBs+) was 1.3%, pattern V (HBsAg+, HBeAg+, Anti-HBe+) was 0.6%, respectively. There were no positives of HBsAg among 10 persons who were negatives of HBsAg by RIA.

The Dutch construction industry has introduced a compulsory preemployment medical examination (PE-ME). Best-evidence contents related to specific job demands are, however, lacking and need to be gathered. After the identification of job demands and health problems in the construction industry (systematic literature search and expert meeting), specific job demands and related requirements were defined and instruments proposed. Finally, a work ability assessment was linked to the instruments' outcomes, resulting in the modular character of the developed PE-ME. Twenty-two specific job demands for all Dutch construction jobs were identified, including kneeling/squatting, working under time pressure, and exposure to hazardous substances. The next step was proposing self-report questions, screening questionnaires, clinical tests, and/or performance-based tests, leading to a work ability judgment. "Lifting/carrying" is described as an example. The new modular PE-ME enables a job-specific assessment of work ability to be made for more than 100 jobs in the Dutch construction industry.

일개 대학병원에서 1994년 1월 1일부터 12월 31일까지의 기간 동안 사무직입사를 위하여 건강진단을 실시한 $17\sim29$세의 8,184명(여자 2,633명, 남자 5,551명)의 간기능 검사 결과를 분석하여 간기능 검사의 분포와 이상수준을 남녀별로 비교분석하여 무증상 젊은 여자에 있어서 간기능 검사의 유용성을 검토하였다. 1. 연령별, 성별에 따른 간기능 검사의 항목별 평균값은 SGPT의 경우 여자 $9.1{\pm}7.6(IU/L)$, 남자 $21.0{\pm}27.9(IU/L)$ 였으며, SGOT의 경우 여자 $15.1{\pm}6.0(IU/L)$, 남자 $20.5{\pm}26.5(IU/L)$ 각각 남녀간의 유의한 차를 보였으며(p<0.01), 연령에 따른 평균치의 분포는 SGPT는 남자에서만 유의하게 증가하였으며(p<0.05), SGOT는 여자에서만 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.01). 2. 각 기준치에 따른 간기능 검사의 이상률로는 가장 낮은 검사실 기준치를 정할때 전체 8.6%(705/8,184), 여자 0.7%(19/2,633), 남자 12.4%(686/5,551)로 1:17.7의 비로 유의한 차를 보이고 있었다(p<0.01). 제일 높게 정한 노동부 고시에 의한 관리한계치로 정할 때의 간기능 이상률은 전체 4.6%(372/8,184) 여자 0.4%(11/2,633) 남자 6.5%(361/5,551)로 1:16.3의 비로 유의한 차를 보이고 있었다(p<0.01). 3. 성별에 따른 간기능 검사의 항목별 이상률은 SGPT의 경우 여자 0.4%(l1/2,633), 남자 6.3%(352/5, 551), SGOT의 경우 여자 0.2%(5/2,633), 남자 1.2%(69/5,551)이었으며 남녀간에 모두 유의한 차를 보이고 있었다(p<0.01). 연령증가에 따른 간기능 이상률은 남자 SGPT에서만 유의하게 나타났다(p<0.01). 이상에서 볼 때 $17\sim29$세 연령군의 여자에서의 간기능 이상률은 매우 낮으므로 무증상의 젊은 여성군에 있어서 일률적으로 간기능 검사를 시행하는 것에 대한 재검토가 필요하다고 사료된다.
