The article deals with results of specification and functioning of a register of health for workers exposed to extremely dangerous toxic chemicals. The authors demonstrated patterns of diseases development in workers according to length of work with toxic chemicals and to work conditions. The identified cause-effect relationships of the diseases development necessitate health registers to minimize negative consequences in work conditions, for early diagnosis and occupational diseases prevention.
