Abstrakt: The aim of present study was to evaluate the effects of a change into a new chicken slaughter on the perceived work strain and capacities of the workers. In the old factory and in the new factory workers answered a questionnaire about work strain and health. The results suggested that moving into the new factory caused in general no changes in strain among the workers, although the perceived capacity and health decreased. There were more changes among the older than among the younger workers in both perceived work strain and capacities. The results could partly be explained by increased productivity, difficulties in the production technique, changes in the management and that some of the planned actions could not be realised.
