ABSTRACT: The aim of the study was to find out what degree employees with occupational injuries and diseases knew about the new Act, and had received compensation in accordance with the provisions. In 1994, 6,755 questionnaires were sent to persons reported to the Labour Inspection as suffering from occupational injury or disease, 3,762 (56%) responded. The study shows that at the time of the investigation only a small minority of the persons who had been reported as having occupational injuries or diseases had received compensation. Even among those who had experienced loss of income, actual expenses, or medical disability, only one subject in four had filed a claim. A number of claims may have been rejected on unlawful grounds.

ABSTRACT: The article presents the most important results of a follow-up study of 60 patients with solvent induced encephalopathy, carried out 3-5 years after diagnosis. Factors concerning health, work and social life were registered. These encephalopathies seem to remain stable after cessation of exposure to solvents. The majority of the patients did not fully understand the diagnosis. Only a minority of the patients followed recommendations concerning further work and exposure to solvents. The disease has major consequences for the social well-being of the patients, and they do not seem to receive adequate support from the social welfare authorities.
