The purpose of the studies was to evaluate the construction workers' health levels. The studies consist of the mortality from all deaths, including cancer deaths and the morbidity from cerebrovascular diseases. The number of population included in the present studies amounted to 127, 470.5 person-years. The main results are as follows: 1) Malignant neoplasms were 34.3 % of 411 death cases followed by cerebrovascular diseases 18.7 % and heart diseases 12.4 %. 2) Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) for this population from malignant neoplasms and cerebrovascular diseases were higher statistically significant. SMRs for plaster, painter and navvy from all causes of death were higher significant. 3) Cerebral hemorrhage showed in 53 cases (25.4 %) of all strokes, cerebral infarction in 135 cases (64.3 %), subarachnoid in 21 cases (10 %) . 4) Standardized Incidence Ratio (SIR) of all strokes and cerebral hemorrhage for scaffolding was significantly higher in comparison with other occupations.
