According to the method designated by ZOSEN KOGYO KAI (The Shipbuilding Association in Japan) to compute the expense incurred by diseases of workers, studies were made on the expense caused by worker's deseases in a shipyard which has approximately 11,000 employees for the period from 1954 to 1956. This expense included the actual expenditure for medical care, loss on the part of the management incurred due to the absense of individual workers and other miscellaneous expenses and losses. The yearly total expense showed a gradual decrease but the expense during the summer and the winter time was larger than those in the other seasons due to the higher incidence of digestive diseases in the summer and the respiratory diseases during the winter time. Tuberculosis alone caused the expense of \1,000,000 monthly occupying 30-50% of the total expence. Due to the effective control, the expense incurred by tuberculosis showed a gradual decrease and the total expense for the third year was cut down by \46,000,000. The diseases of the digestive organs caused the total expense of two to five million yen monthly occupying approximately 15% of the total expense, and control of these diseases is considered to be very important. The diseases of the respiratory organs usually caused the expense of \1,000,000∼\2,500,000 monthly during the winter time, but an epidemic of influenza caused a three to five times rise in the expense with a monthly expense of \5,000,009∼\8,800,000. Popular and more frequent causes of sick leave such as headache, fever, stomachache and diarrhea incurred approximately \1,000,000 monthly.
