<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>It is known that increased morbidity with temporary incapacity for work (MTIW) is related to stress level and psychosocial factors at work.

The study covered MTIW in labour inspectors, a total of 334 people, men and women aged from 24 to 69. The evaluation was based on 11 of the generally accepted indices. MTIW structure was analyzed. MTIW was rated as high according to case frequency and as very high according to day frequency.
