摘要：

Information on seizures and provoking factors, occupational status, shift work, overtime, home and work place adjustment was obtained from 176 epileptic employees working in hazardous, less and non-hazardous areas of steel plants in India. Accidents at work and sickness absence were also assessed in 44 epileptics. An overall comparison was made between Group A hazardous (63) and Group B less/non-hazardous (76) of the total of 139 epileptic employees over a three year period. Group A performed better than Group B. When compared with 77 employees with occupational dermatoses, 139 epileptics did more fixed shifts and had less promotion.
