Abstract:
The study on workplace environmental conditions and health status of male workers at Thai Nguyen Coalluary Factory indicated that the working conditions were hard and hazard to workers' health. The workers had to sufferred from high temperature and other hazard factors that were above allowed standards, such as noise, toxic gas (CO, CO2, SO2, NO2...), especially coal dust, iron, silica dusts etc. Most workers' health was at level II and III with high rate of diseases such as cardiovascular and occupational diseases. Some measures have been suggested to protect workers' health.
