[Preventive measures by physicians and nurses in the Flor Crombet outfit]

A study was conducted en 100 workers from Flor Crombet Contingent in Yateras municipality, province of Guantánamo. Ninety-six men and 4 women out of 100 workers studied had health certificates, most of them made by nurses or physicians, thus sparing the need to go to a polyclinic and saving working hours. When visiting work places, it was observed that workers who did not use protective means were aware of their importance and instructions were imparted that work be carried out in places with lower risk, an order which was fulfilled immediately since there is no lack of promotion, but lack of protective means in the enterprise. One hundred percent of the workers are involved in health education programs.
