Abstract
Work environment theory has always been straddled between various sciences and their sub-disciplines; to some extent there is a certain "nomadicity" in this field. Generally speaking, during his development man has been exposed to the pressure of the environment, not only natural but also the "artificial" one, in this case work evironment or "residential" issues (so-called housing issue).
Furthermore, the entire historical situation was also influenced by industrial production with its factory halls. People (male and female workers) had to find their position in this surroundings.
The presented sketch deals as well with the hygiene of work and the occupational diseases. The development of technocratic tendencies is also taken into account.
