Abstract
The aim of our study was to conduct an anonymous questonnaire inquiry concerning the health risk selfperception of workers in various professions. Their knowledge, attitudes and behaviour concerning essential health questions were also assessed.
So far we have analysed 574 questionnaires from 242 teachers from all school levels, 170 factory workers who were mostly from risky professions and 160 health professionals (doctors and nurses). Our results show that our respondents are exposed to a number of risk factors resulting from their professions, but above all, from their lifestyle.
Nevertheless, marked differences can be found among individual professional groups.
