[Medical surveillance of Italian Red Cross Volunteers: actual limits of law, technical and scientific problems. The experience of Red Cross Provincial Committee of Monza and Brianza].

Our research describes a medical surveillance, not included in usual Occupational Health activities, carried out in last year among Red Cross Volunteers active in Monza e Brianza Provincial Committee. This medical surveillance has been managed according to internal rules of Red Cross and national specific Laws. We report data concerning medical examination of 1285 volunteers, their consequences on their voluntary activities, problems arisen during and after medical controls. Starting from results of our medical controls, we evaluated legal and organizational possibilities of evolution of medical surveillance of Red Cross Volunteers specifically and more generally of Civil Protection Volunteers, considering specific new law recently promulgated which seem partially not homogeneous with 81/08 Decree.
