In summary, the basic medical examination and carefully documented work and medical history are essential parts of the health examinations of construction workers. To achieve their best potential in preventing occupational and chronic diseases, the examinations should be conducted by professionals who know the working conditions in construction and have a positive attitude toward preventive medicine. One important aspect of these examinations is the opportunity to trigger workplace investigations, followed by exposure reduction. Simultaneously, such examinations provide an opportunity for health education of the worker and an education about work-related health problems for the health care provider.
总之，基本的医学检查以及详细记录的工作和病史是建筑工人健康检查的重要组成部分。为了在预防职业病和慢性病方面发挥最大潜力，检查应由了解建筑工作条件且对预防医学持积极态度的专业人员进行。这些检查的一个重要方面是引发对工作场所进行调查的契机，随后减少接触。同时，此类检查为工人提供了健康教育的机会，也为医疗保健提供者提供了有关与工作相关健康问题的教育机会。
