Background: The aim of the study was to assess whether the amended Polish Occupational Diseases Certification Act of 2002 has made an impact on the medico-legal process of the occupational voice diseases certification.

Material And Methods: Nationwide reports on the number and types of occupational diseases diagnosed in Poland in 1999-2004, and the medical records of 267 teachers diagnosed for the occupational voice organ disease were analyzed.

Results And Conclusions: A 4-fold gradual and continuous reduction (from 3521 to 881 cases) in the number of registered occupational voice diseases was noted in 1999-2004, which was not really associated with the date the amended Act came into force.
