Based on the analysis of regulatory documents on risk management, the choice of methods for assessing professional risks for workers in the foundry of a heavy industry plant was justified. The FineKinney and Matrix methods as the most simple to use, but effective and widely used were chosen, and the professional risks for the main professions of the foundry workers were assessed. The article aims to study the influence of the complex impact of harmful and hazardous production factors of foundries on the level of occupational risk for employees of structural divisions and enterprises of the metallurgical industry using the example of LLC Production Company, Irkutsk. It was shown that the Fine-Kinney method can be considered a reliable tool for making management decisions. The matrix method gives a clear qualitative picture. The probabilities of occupational risks associated with the technological process were determined. They can be reduced by taking measures aimed to improve working conditions even for one hazard source. Recommendations for improving the working conditions of the foundry workers were provided: modern equipment taking into account BAT, advanced PPE, air spraying, gas cleaning units and an improved ventilation system. These measures can significantly reduce the level of professional risk of employees.

The article deals with the problems of increasing the economic efficiency of agricultural enterprises by improving working conditions, reducing the level of exposure to harmful and dangerous production factors. The purpose of the article is to analyze methodological approaches to forecasting possible economic losses of agricultural enterprises due to the presence of harmful or dangerous working conditions and to develop organizational and management solutions to reduce these losses. Economic services of agricultural enterprises need to have a methodology for assessing real economic losses due to unfavorable working conditions at enterprises, which will give employers an understanding that the costs of labor protection and safety not only pay off, but also give a significant economic effect and contribute to improving the profitability of production and allow them to make informed management decisions. It is shown that forecasting economic damage from occupational diseases and industrial injuries, accidents is a complex task, but it is quite solvable on the basis of the procedure for assessing and managing occupational risks and applying known patterns of crop losses or animal productivity due to violations of agrotechnical deadlines or animal maintenance regime due to the absence of an injured employee at the workplace.

The analytical review of labor conditions in the oil mines of the Yaregskoye field has demonstrated that the majority of work places (82 %) are considered hazardous, of subclass 3.1–3.3. The analysis of the basic process operations for high-viscosity oil production using the thermoshaft method has determined the combinations of hazardous production factors at work places. Studying the diversity of versions and combinations of negative factors and their complex impact on oil mine workers enabled detecting a synergetic effect that increases the risk of development of occupational diseases. It is established that for occupational risks assessment considering the potential interaction of hazardous production factors and their impact on personnel’s health is crucial. Today, the synergetic effects are not considered for occupational risk assessment in oil mines. Development of a methodological approach to occupational risk assessment including synergy is required. The suggested method is based on building up a mathematical model for occupational risk assessment with combined effects of negative factors that uses the combined effect coefficient considering the impact of synergetic effect. Comparing the data on labor conditions’ classes, occupational disease indices and obtained results, including the synergetic effects for the main underground occupations of the oil mines has demonstrated the bias approach for the earlier occupational assessment that neglected occupational risks to health in conditions of combined impact of negative factors. Within calculations, the significance of synergism math model for occupational risk assessment is confirmed.

Introduction: The assessment and management of occupational risks has the purpose conducting of analysis and assessing the health of workers by timely, complete and adequate passing of the previous and periodic medical examination, registration and analysis of morbidity and establishment of cause-and-effect relationship with working conditions. The aim:Prediction of occupational risk based on study of diseases with temporary disability was conducted in the analysis of disability sheets and the report on causes of temporary disability in workers extraction of iron ore. Materials and methods: Hygienic, epidemiological and statistical methods of research were used to solve this purpose. Results: In the workers involved in the extraction and processing of iron ore the level of morbidity with temporary disability is from 81,87±3,64 to 98,06±2,49 cases (p<0,05), from 806,53±40,51 to 1217,67±63,50 days of disability (p<0,05), the average duration of one case was from 10,00±1,42 to 12,39±0,24, and according to the scale of assessment of the indicators of morbidity rates by L. E. Notkin characterized in days as average; in cases as high. The calculation of morbidity rates (L and OR) makes it possible to predict what degree and class of harmful production factors can lead to the corresponding levels of morbidity. The proposed forecasting method makes it possible to predict the categories of occupational risk in depending on the class of working conditions and the relative risk of morbidity with temporary disability. Conclusions: Studying the morbidity and condition of working conditions is the basis for predicting occupational risk for effective management decisions.

The methodology for assessing occupational risks currently occupies a priority place in assessing the impact of production factors on the health of workers. The main sources of information for assessing the levels of occupational risks include data obtained in the course of state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance, a special assessment of working conditions and production control. To date, there is a need to harmonize legislation on a special assessment of working conditions and sanitary and hygienic requirements in terms of the list of factors of the working environment and the labor process subject to research and measurement. An adequate assessment of occupational risks is possible only on the basis of the use of consolidated databases on working conditions obtained from various sources.

Objective: to develop and theoretically substantiate such an approach, which should ensure the creation of information and calculation-analytical basis for planning and implementation of effective preventive measures aimed at minimizing occupational risks in the workplace. Various approaches to the calculation of occupational risk are analyzed, primarily those based on the results of the assessment of working conditions in the workplace on the indicators of production factors (certification of jobs). Among the general shortcomings of the methods that use the results of job certification, the main ones should be noted: the probability of violation of the measurement method, insufficient objectivity in the assessment of production factors, the long period between measurements, high cost. It is noted that the main tasks that need to be addressed are: the formation of information databases for calculations, development of assessment methods and the involvement of qualified experts. A method of occupational risk assessment is proposed, the peculiarity of which is taking into account the results of measurements of the levels of production factors and expert assessments. As a result of calculations, the calculated value of occupational risk for a particular profession allows us to draw a conclusion about the extent to which working conditions meet current regulatory requirements. Conclusions: the proposed approach provides incentives for employers to ensure safe and harmless working conditions, as well as active involvement of employees in solving problems of labor protection. As promising areas for improving the assessment of occupational risks noted: the introduction of a flexible mechanism for systematic survey of working conditions in the workplace, justification of levels of gradation of occupational risk, the introduction of modern information systems for accounting and analysis of production factors in dynamics.

Labor productivity depends on various factors, including appropriate working conditions. Work in the field of radiation medicine can have both harmful working conditions associated with equipment, drugs that must be used in the work, and psychological factors associated with the need to communicate with patients with complex diagnoses, psychological fatigue, which can become chronic if preventive measures are not taken in time. Statistical data from the official websites of the State Labor Service of Ukraine and the Ministry of Health of Ukraine were used in the work, students were interviewed using the Google survey form. Methods of rational criticism, dialectical, comparative-legal and formal-legal methods are used. It has been established that the inclusion of a special course on labor protection in educational programs will be an urgent preventive measure. To reduce the risk of burnout, it is necessary to conduct training, it is also necessary to conduct surveys of medical practitioners to identify problematic factors that need to be addressed. To improve the culture of a healthy lifestyle, to protect workers in the field of radiation medicine from the effects of hazardous production factors, it is necessary to strengthen preventive measures to prevent accidents at work and occupational diseases, as well as other exposure to hazardous production factors. To do this, it is proposed to improve two areas of preventive work. The first is to strengthen information work among students who obtain the profession of a medical worker in the field of radiation medicine, by introducing a special course on labor protection. Thus, the special course should be developed under features of work in the field of radiation medicine. In order to provide effective information, narrow specialists should be involved in lecturing. The second is to conduct simulation and psychological trainings for medical practitioners. The Social Insurance Fund of Ukraine should be involved in financing preventive measures. It is also advisable for the Foundation to submit its proposals to the methodological developments of new preventive measures.

Risk Categories

The whole complex of adverse effects of hazardous and harmful production factors on the employees most fully reflects such an indicator as occupational risk. In the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the occupational risk is considered as the likelihood of personnel injury due to exposure to harmful and (or) hazardous production factors when the employee performs the job duties. However, most of the risk assessment methods used are time-consuming and largely subjective. The concept of «risk» is used when organizing the risk-oriented state control (supervision), since the frequency of scheduled inspections of the organizations (enterprises) depends on the risk category (hazard class). The analysis is made concerning the methods for determining the potential risk of harm when assigning the objects of state supervision to risk categories. Some serious shortcomings are identified in the existing approach. It is established that the potential risk indicator considers only hazardous production factors through the incidents and their severity. At the same time, the harmful production factors that lead to various kinds of employee diseases are not considered. The harm caused to the health of employees due to exposure to harmful and hazardous production factors can be comprehensively assessed using the integrated assessment method of working conditions based on the regulatory standard of working time losses from morbidity with temporary disability. It is proposed to calculate the occupational risk index using the integrated assessment methodology. In accordance with the calculated values of the occupational risk index, it is possible to determine the categories of occupational risk and justify the frequency of occupational safety scheduled inspections. Occupational risk categories can be defined individually for each employee, workplace, structural subdivision, and the organization as a whole, which will allow to address the issue of working conditions improvement and conduct timely occupational safety scheduled inspections.
