None:
In some professions, the load on the vocal apparatus is particularly high, and professional functioning depends on maintaining vocal function for many hours a day. The aim of the study is to identify risk factors for the development of work-related and non-work-related diseases of the vocal organs and to indicate tests assessing the efficiency of the vocal organ in order to improve preventive care for employees exposed to vocal strain. The article discusses work-related diseases of the vocal organs and the law criteria for recognizing them as occupational diseases. The scope of preventive activities as part of preventive care for employees exposed to work requiring constant and excessive vocal effort was also determined.
