The problem of industrial injuries and occupational diseases of workers is relevant for all countries, including the Republic of Kazakhstan, where more than 200 people die every year and more than 2,000 are injured at workplaces due to hazardous and harmful production factors, including insufficient natural or artificial illumination of workplaces. The aim of the work is to study the level of illumination of workplaces at enterprises of the Republic of Kazakhstan and to establish the influence of this factor on the working conditions. The object of the study is workplaces and employees of one of the largest machine-building plants, where 60 employees were interviewed, and instrumental measurements of illumination levels were performed in two workshops. The questionnaire method and methods for assessing workplaces by the level of illumination were used. The analysis showed that the largest number of surveyed workers (58.4%) were not satisfied with the level of illumination; according to the instrumental measurements of illumination, 40.9% and 46.6% of workplaces were harmful and dangerous. Employees working under harmful conditions are entitled to a number of benefits and compensations. Thus, the creation of rational working conditions, including illumination of workplaces, helps to minimize injuries and occupational diseases and increase the efficiency and productivity of labor.

The paper presents the results of hygienic assessment of the working environment and work process factors at surface and underground ore mining operations, ferrous metallurgy plants and aluminum production facilities. It has been established that workers are affected by a complex of production factors (dust, toxic substances, noise, vibration, unfavorable micro climate, etc.), the level of which often exceeds the hygienic standards. The workplace conditions of the primary jobs at these enterprises in 60-80% of cases are classified as hazardous, i.e. Class 3 of various hazard degrees. The incidence of occupational diseases remains high, especially in underground mining and at aluminum production plants. The specific features of mining and metallurgical operations and the severity of unfavorable production factors determine the structure of occupational morbidity. Occupational respiratory diseases are most common among workers in the ferrous metallurgy industry and account for 70.3% in total. Vibration-induced pathologies are most frequently diagnosed among excavator, bulldozer and dump truck operators, and account for 52.9% of all the diagnosed occupational diseases. Hearing organ pathology in the form of neurosensory loss of hearing among workers of mining and metallurgical enterprises ranges from 10.2% (aluminum smelters) to 22.7% (ferrous metallurgy plants) in the occupational morbidity structure. Chronic intoxication with fluorine compounds at aluminum smelters was diagnosed in 68.1% of cases. The results obtained confirm the pressing need to improve the working conditions, introduce preventive measures based on the primary prevention principles, and reduce the risk factors of health problems among the workers.

The analysis of occupational morbidity at the enterprises of the machine-building industry of the region is carried out. In recent years, there has been a sharp decrease in occupational diseases at machine-building enterprises. So, in 2015, 187 cases were established, which amounted to 68.2% of all established cases, in 2020 – only 2 cases (6.3%). The level of occupational morbidity does not reflect the true situation. Incomplete identification of patients with occupational pathology is associated with the negative attitude of the employer to the establishment of occupational diseases in employees, poor-quality certification of workplaces. Key words: occupational diseases, risk factors, working conditions, structure.

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.

In the Republic of Bashkortostan, in 2019, despite the deteriorating working conditions at workplaces in almost all industries, extremely low rates of occupational morbidity were observed. At the same time, almost every third employee of the surveyed types of economic activity is engaged in work with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions. In total, 46 cases of occupational diseases were found in the Republic in 2019. The occupational morbidity rate was 0.42 per 10,000 employees (2018 — 0.32), which is significantly lower than in the Russian Federation (1.03 per 10,000 employees). The highest levels of occupational morbidity are registered in mining, manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture. The structure of nosological forms of occupational diseases was dominated by diseases associated with physical overload and overstrain of individual organs and systems: sciatica of the lumbosacral level, polyneuropathy of the extremities and occupational diseases from the influence of physical factors: sensorineural hearing loss and vibration disease. Against the background of the continuing deterioration of working conditions in the Republic and the low quality of periodic medical examinations, extremely low rates of registered occupational diseases are observed.

The Russian aviation industry is one of the most important high-tech and science-intensive branches of machine building. The aircraft building enterprises employ about 150 thousand workers, whose conditions do not meet sanitary and hygienic requirements. The purpose of the article is to analyze working conditions and assess occupational health risks for aviation workers on the example of an aircraft plant. The object of research is Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant, which is the largest enterprise in the Republic of Buryatia and part of Russian Helicopters JSC. It was found that the risk of occupational diseases is determined by harmful physical (industrial noise) and chemical (harmful substances) factors, as well as severity of the labor process. The largest deviations of the levels of professional risk from the maximum permissible level were revealed for the follwoing professions "screenman", "assembler" and "assembler of hydraulic units". The risks are "high" and "medium". For upholsterer and regulators of electromechanical and radio-technical equipment, the risks are within the permissible working conditions. It is necessary to reduce professional risks by modernizing production and its technological processes: replacing obsolete equipment with modern one, introducing the best available technologies, and automating processes.

The article covers issues related to compulsory state social insurance, which is one of the mechanisms for ensuring health of employees in the course of their work. In his article the author states that accidents and occupational diseases are one of the biggest threats to the health of the working population of Ukraine. The author of the article emphasizes the need to reorient the institution of compulsory state social insurance to strengthen prevention of accidents and occupational diseases, which, accordingly, has lower economic costs than compensation for workers who have suffered any health damage. He also emphasizes the need to finance preventive measures by the Social Insurance Fund, which is not currently implemented. The article emphasizes importance of updating the list of occupational diseases that occur due to occurrence of modern harmful production factors that harm health of the employees. Currently the list of occupational diseases approved by Ukraine is missing the modern production factors related to digital technologies and psychological risks that are the causes of occupational diseases of the employees. The author also states establishment of the same number of social contributions without taking into account working conditions as another shortcoming of the legislation in the field of compulsory social insurance. The author emphasizes the need to establish occupational risk classes, according to which contributions to the compulsory state social insurance should be paid, which will depend on the occurrence of harmful and dangerous factors in the workplace, number of accidents and occupational diseases. In this regard, the author suggests providing a system of motivation of employers, which provides for the possibility of employers to pay lower contributions in connection with creation of favorable working conditions and reduce accidents and occupational diseases.

Abstract. Working conditions have a significant impact on the health of the working population. In the Republic of Tatarstan (RT), there are still industries where unsatisfactory working conditions lead to a high risk of developing occupational diseases. The aim of the work was to assess the occupational morbidity (DI) in the Republic of Tatarstan of the structure, dynamics, main reasons and factors affecting its formation. The aim of the work was to assess the occupational morbidity (DI) in the Republic of Tatarstan of the structure, dynamics, main reasons and factors affecting its formation. The analysis was carried out on the basis of data from the Office of Rospotrebnadzor in the Republic of Tatarstan, the Center for Occupational Pathology, and Tatarstanstat. Results: The proportion of workers employed in harmful and (or) hazardous working conditions in the Republic of Tatarstan amounted to 47.9% -50.8% of the payroll number of the working population. PP indicators in the Republic of Tatarstan over the past 10 years are 1.39 - 1.88 per 10 thousand employees. The highest levels of PZ are recorded among agricultural workers - from 5.22 to 10.12 and manufacturing - from 3.46 to 7.41 cases per 10 thousand. The leading places are occupied by diseases associated with exposure to noise and vibration. The main share of the identified occupational diseases was registered in workers of working age (50-59 years) with over 30 years of work experience. Conclusion. During the analyzed period, the PP indicators in the Republic of Tajikistan remained higher or at the level of the PP in the Russian Federation (RF). The main share of occupational diseases was registered at aircraft and mechanical engineering enterprises. We associate the observed increase in the proportion of diseases with the loss of professional ability to work with the untimely referral of patients for examination, as well as their late appeal to the center of occupational pathology.
