Introduction. Professional groups of railway workers engaged in the repair of wagons are directly responsible for the safety of railway traffic. The analysis of literature testifies to insufficient attention of researchers to the hygienic problems associated with labor activity of workers of wagon-repair production.The aim of the study is to assess the occupational risk to the health of wagon repair workers, due to the impact on them of factors of the working environment and the labor process.Materials and methods. The study used comprehensive hygienic studies using the methodology of occupational risk to worker’s health.Results. The leading factors of the working environment (class of working conditions 3.2–3.4), which are exposed to workers depending on the specifics of the work performed. Identified professional groups with medium (significant) high (unbearable) and very high (intolerable) category of a priori occupational risk: in wagon meintenance workshop — 17 groups (94% of jobs), in a wagon assembly workshop — 11 groups (80% jobs), in wagon wheel workshop — 3 group (100% jobs). At the same time, according to the request for medical care, employees were diagnosed with isolated cases of occupational diseases.The levels of morbidity with temporary disability of employees of the main workshops are statistically significant (p<0.05) higher than those of the control group in 1.4–1.9 times. The influence of the complex of chemical factors of low and medium intensity on the levels of morbidity of respiratory diseases in the group of workers of the wagon wheel workshop, which were 1.7–2.0 times higher than in the control group, is confirmed by the average degree of causation of the production condition of this pathology (RR=1.7; EF=42.0%).The combined effect of vibration and severity of the labor process forms a high level of temporary disability of employees of the main workshops in connection with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, which was 2.7–4.4 times higher than in the control group, and also determines the prevalence of this pathology in the structure of diseases detected on medical examinations (23.2%). Diseases of the musculoskeletal system are caused by the production of employees of the wagon meintenance workshop (RR=3,9; EF=74,9%), as the most unfavorable in terms of hygiene on these factors.The stressful influence of the complex of harmful production factors on the health of wagon repair workers is manifested by the high risk of diseases of the cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal tract, neurological disorders, violation of adaptation of the cardiovascular system in 97% of the examined, as well as the predominance of diseases of the digestive system and circulatory system detected on periodic medical examinations.Conclusions. Harmful working conditions (class 3.1–3.4) cause the suspected occupational risk from small (moderate) to very high (intolerable) to 100% of the jobs of wagon repair workers. The results of the study of morbidity and risk of pathology indicate a significant risk of damage to the health of workers.

In the present research, the working conditions of workers employed in the production of medicines in the form of tablets and capsules of a modern enterprise of the pharmaceutical industry have been studied. Based on the results of attestation of workplaces and data of industrial laboratory control of the factors of the production environment for the period from 2016 to 2019, a complex of harmful production factors at workplaces was determined and a comprehensive hygienic assessment of the working conditions of a general purpose machine operator of chemical and pharmaceutical preparations, packaging machine operator, stacker-packer and processor of technological containers and tares. It has been established that the labor activity of the leading professional groups of workers in production is associated with the influence of a predominantly chemical factor due to the presence of harmful chemicals in the air of the working area. According to the data obtained, the air of the working area at the workplace of the operator of a wide profile of chemical and pharmaceutical preparations of the tableting and filling of capsules section is contaminated with harmful chemicals (doxycycline, nystatin, lincomycin, rifampicin, tetracycline, etc.), the concentrations of which exceed the maximum permissible. A hygienic assessment of the parameters of the microclimate, noise and tension of the labor process at the studied workplaces established that there are no deviations from hygienic standards and the working conditions according to these factors are permissible. Thus, the data obtained allow us to conclude that the working conditions of the operator of a wide profile of chemical and pharmaceutical preparations belong to class 3.3, the stacker-packer — 3.1, and the working conditions of the operator of filling and packaging machines and the processor of technological containers and tares are assessed as acceptable.

The Impact

The work presents data analysis of the results of special assessment of working conditions for workers of various branches of economy in the Bashkortostan Republic. Results of special assessment of working conditions (SAWC) and medical examinations were used for the analysis. It is noted, that some professional groups, for example, persons performing their work in the sphere of agriculture, have no exposure to the biological factor. Construction workers were not exposed to industrial vibration, while the noise level for half of the analyzed cases was of class 2.0, although in most cases, industrial noise and vibration have single source. Proportion of facilities that revealed a discrepancy between levels of harmful industrial factors and requirements of sanitary legislation remains high. The greatest share of objects does not correspond to sanitary and epidemiological requirements according to the chemical and physical factor. At the moment, SAWC does not fully reflect the working conditions of employees in different sectors of production. Underestimation of its influence on working conditions of workers is typical for a considerable number of professional groups and individual jobs. Analysis on the basis of SAWC is not sufficient for a hygienic assessment of the impact of production environment factors and labour process on health and requires comprehensive assessment methods.

The author presents the results of a comprehensive assessment of working conditions and functional systems of the body of workers in the conditions of by-product coke production. Harmful factors of the working environment negatively impacting on the health indicators of workers, which is reflected in the high values of morbidity with temporary disability. Quantitative criteria for identifying risk groups and disability were determined depending on the professional group, work experience, gender and age. To calculate the risk range, the method of rationing of intensive indicators was used, which makes it possible to assess the effect of production on the morbidity of workers, as well as to use the results obtained for a comprehensive integral assessment of the likelihood of the risk of disability in the studied professional groups. Ranges of risk have been obtained, which will help to identify "risk groups" among workers requiring examination and preventive measures. Equations of multiple regressions for complex integral risk assessment are obtained, risk forecast for the studied professional groups is calculated. The developed mathematical model and equations of multiple regressions make it possible to calculate the stress levels of the functional systems of the body, to quickly assess the performance of a person both at the time of examination and in production conditions. The proposed method for assessing the impact of working conditions on health indicators can be used at mining enterprises when certifying workplaces and assessing working conditions. The developed methodological recommendations are used in the educational process to improve the quality of scientific research, to analyze the results obtained, as well as in production to simplify the procedure for assessing the impact of harmful production factors on workers and the scientific organization of labor.

Sensory Polyneuropathy

Introduction. Autonomous sensory polyneuropathy of upper extremities is one of the most common occupational diseases of the peripheral nervous system. Materia and methods. Findings of the health state study in two major worker jobs in which occupational polyneuropathies of upper extremities are prevalent, namely: house-painters and plasterers, as well as mining job workers (underground miners, shaft miners, breakage face miners), are reported. The main harmful factor in both professional groups is the heaviness of the working process. Results. Physical overloads are a reason of the occupational pathology’s complex of “working hand”. At the same time, no systemic autoimmune or endocrine diseases with similar polyneuropathy were detected. Other harmful factors in the working process such as occupational dust, intensive noise can cause another occupational pathology (in respiratory or hearing organs). Discussion. In spite of obviously different working conditions, we detected the same professional diseases in both professional groups - “the working hand pathological complex”. Our findings indicated the importance of the regular periodic check-ups. Doctors should search actively the early signs of coexisting with the occupational polyneuropathy illnesses. The results of health state’s research should be taken into account in the patient’s treatment planning.
