The results of periodic medical examinations (PME) of workers of the machine-building enterprise are analyzed and factors defining their quality are considered. The criteria of PME quality are proposed and used along with analysis of the defects of medical records. With help of Pareto chart the most significant factors affecting the quality of PME are revealed. These were noted in 76% of cases and included: lack of expertise of fitness to work, the discrepancy of the results of this expertise and the worker's pathology, the lack of registration and collection of complaints and anamnesis.
