Introduction. Discrepancies in the regulatory documents regulating the compilation of sanitary and hygienic characteristics (SGC) of pilots' working conditions, the lack of a complex of laboratory and instrumental studies conducted at the workplace and, as a result, incomplete and unreliable compilation of SGC, lead to difficulties in establishing the connection between the disease and the pilot's profession. The aim of study is to conduct a critical analysis of the quality of the preparation of the CGS, followed by identifying the main violations of the requirements of regulatory documents in the design of the CGS. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the quality of registration of the SGC of pilots with an established diagnosis of occupational disease was performed. Results. Contradictions in the current legal acts are established and discrepancies in methods for assessing the normalized indicators of working conditions of pilots are revealed. The data obtained indicate that the main requirements for filling out the SGC, justified by the specifics of the working conditions of pilots, are not taken into account when they are issued; when evaluating the measurement results, non-current regulatory documents are used, or documents that do not regulate the working conditions of civil aviation pilots. Conclusions. To improve the quality of registration of the SGC, it is necessary to update the current regulations and develop guidelines with the establishment of the form of the SGC for working conditions of civil aviation flight personnel in case of suspected occupational disease.

Introduction. The analysis of working conditions of pilots of civil aviation aircraft has been carried out according to the data of sanitary and hygienic characteristics (SHC). The non-compliances with hygiene standards for several factors have been established at the same time in all SHC. Materials and methods. The 220 SHC of pilots, who had been examined in the clinic of FSBSI RIOH due to suspicion of occupation disease from 2015 to 2019, conducting flights by plane (49%) and helicopter (51%) were analyzed. The methods of account of acoustic load, hygiene assessment and classification of working conditions, peer review methods, and statistical treatment methods have been used. Results. The working conditions, according to the criteria of the Guide R 2.2.2006-05, are assigned to the following classes: 3.2 - in 26%; 3.3 - in 41%; 3.4 - in 33%. Exceeding the permissible equivalent noise levels was recorded at 92% of workplaces. According to SHC, the exceedances were from 1.2 dB to 34.5 dB (class 3.1-3.4). In assessing the work intensity in 83% of cases from 5 to 11 indicators of class 3.2 were recorded. It has determined class 3.3 of work intensity. The levels of general vibration exceeded hygiene standards in 48% of cases (class 3.1- 3.2), local vibration - in 8% (class 3.1-3.2), microclimate parameters - in 67% (class 3.1-3.2), labour severity - in 22% (class 3.1-3.3), less often there were discrepancies in light (6%) and chemical factor (2%). Conclusion. According to a combination of factors, the overall assessment of working conditions of the pilots of civil aviation aircraft in 74% of cases is assigned to classes 3.3-3.4. However, the disadvantages and errors in filling out the SHC can underestimate the degree of harmfulness of the work. To improve the procedure of establishing the connection between the disease, and the profession it is necessary to amend the legislative framework to obtain objective information about the levels of factors affecting pilots, develop a separate form of SHC of working conditions of pilots, detailed instructions about the rules of filling out SHC.

Introduction. Examining the disease’s connection with the occupation being the cornerstones in occupational health cannot be based on template solutions. When considering the aetiology of the disease, the entire document was the sanitary and hygienic characteristics of working conditions, the quality of which often determines the patient’s fate. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the sanitary and hygienic characteristics of 647 inpatient medical records from 2013 to 2020, aimed at examining the relationship of the disease with the occupation: 562 cards with an established diagnosis, 85 - with an unspecified final diagnosis of an occupational disease. The contingent of the surveyed: 98.0% - employees of various industries and enterprises of the Republic of Bashkortostan, 2.0% - residents of other regions of the country, as well as the republic working in the Far North on a shift basis. Results. When preparing the characteristics in 73.0% of cases, the employees of Federal Service for Supervision in Protection of the Rights of Consumer and Man Wellbeing were based only on the data of a special assessment of working conditions, in which there was no complete information about the working conditions of the employee, which often leads to the inability to establish an occupational disease to the patient. In 7.0% of cases, the values of harmful industrial factors in the presented characteristics were on the border with the hygienic standard, which, with significant work experience and the presence of clear signs of occupational disease in the patient, also puts expert doctors in a difficult position. The situation mentioned above may be the cause of a legal dispute on the part of the employee if he refuses to establish an occupational illness and the employer if the issue is resolved positively for the employee. The reasons for delaying the terms of the examination were the need to request additional documents in connection with the data provided in the characteristics on the nature of the influencing harmful factors, based only on literary sources. Non-compliance with the deadlines for submitting the attributes to the Center of Occupational Pathology was observed in almost 100.0 % of cases. In 75.0% of cases, employees signed it without receiving explanations of quantitative and qualitative indicators. Conclusion. There is an urgent need to review the methodological approaches to compiling sanitary and hygienic characteristics of working conditions, develop an algorithm for its preparation, and the level of responsibility of all stakeholders for the quality of the document.

A study of metallic brazing material for internally cooled optics is presented. The study shows the influence of the different material properties on the final quality of the bond in terms of diffracted wavefront distortion,i.e.enlargement of the rocking curve. By choosing the proper brazing material and applying the proper brazing conditions, the influence of the brazing material can be fully eliminated. Furthermore the degradation of some brazing material due to the extreme working conditions of the optics is presented. Measurement results from ESRF and KEK confirm the importance of the proper brazing material choice.

The Impact

Hygienic studies have shown in the cockpit of aircraft and helicopters of crew equivalent levels of sound and vibration in most cases to exceed the maximum permissible levels. There was an exhaustion of the labor process of flight crew members (FCM) due to the high intellectual, sensory, emotional loads caused by the elevated responsibility for safety. The assessment of working conditions of the flight crew can be attributed to their class 3.1-3.4 (harmful working conditions). The clinical and audiological picture showed hearing loss in all subjects to be chronic, bilateral, sensorineural type, slowly progressive, without general somatic pathology, which could lead to hearing loss. The excess of the total physical component of the health-related quality of life (HRQL) over the total psychological component was identified in FCM. The values of the mental health and life activity scores of HRQL were found to be lower than in the comparison group. Evaluation of the psychoemotional status of FCM revealed the adaptive type of attitude to the disease, the lack of social frustration and personality traits predisposing to the development of neurosis and reflecting neurotic changes. The further longitudinal studies are needed to clarify identified socio-psychological characteristics of patients and to develop effective measures of psychosocial and medical rehabilitation that improve the HRQL of the FCM affected by the impact of industrial noise.

Introduction. The current Form No. 362-1/y-2001 "The sanitary and hygienic characteristics for the working conditions of an employee having suspicion of an occupational disease (poisoning)" does not meet the requirements of Sanitary Law developed within the framework of the "regulatory guillotine". It complicates the investigation of occupational diseases and carrying out an objective examination of the connection between the disease and the profession. The study aims to analyze the Form for the sanitary and hygienic characteristics (SHC) of working conditions and substantiate proposals for its adaptation to the current regulatory legal acts to objectify the investigation of occupational diseases cases and the examination of the connection between the disease and the profession. Materials and methods. We carried out the expert-analytical study. We analyzed and compared data from Rospotrebnadzor (2001-2020) on occupational morbidity and Rosstat (2014-2020) on employment in harmful and (or) hazardous working conditions. We also studied the SHC (503) submitted for examination of the connection between disease and profession (including forensic medical examination). The structure of the Form for the completeness of the presentation of issues on various aspects of working conditions, the quality of the compilation and content of the SHS was determined in accordance with the current Sanitary Law. The authors evaluated the structure of the Form for the presentation of questions on various aspects of working conditions, determined the quality of the compilation and content of the SHC in accordance with the current Sanitary Law. Results. With a decrease in the number of newly registered cases of occupational diseases over 20 years by more than 3.7 times, the share of workers in harmful and(or) hazardous working conditions in the main types of economic activity decreased in 2020 relative to 2014 in 1,1 time (37.3%). A comparative assessment of the standardized indicators of harmful production factors specified in the SHC and the ones approved in SanPiN 1.2.3685-21 revealed their complete inconsistency. The results of in-depth analysis of 503 SGH allowed us to determine the most typical errors in assessing production factors at workplaces: incorrect assessment of standardized single-digit noise indicators (equivalent sound level A for an 8-hour working day), vibration (equivalent level corrected along the Z-, Y-, X-axes ); lack of data on dust load and the average value of air temperature - THC-index; assessment of the labour severity without considering the technological operations performed, etc. We noted the predominant assessment of working conditions by the main factor developing an occupational disease, without considering the accompanying risk factors that aggravate its effect. We also noted a significant underestimation of the levels when assessing the general transport, technological and technological vibration due to the differences between hygienic standards and the norms adopted in the Methodology for conducting a special assessment of working conditions. SCH contains no information on lighting, biological factor, labour intensity in 67.0-75.0% of cases. Conclusion. We substantiated proposals for improving Form No. 362-1/y-2001 of the SHC of working conditions, considering an electronic form of the document, revising the instructions for filling out the SHC.

Working conditions may be an important lever to support special educators’ reading instruction for students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). Thus, we explored how working conditions relate to the quality of special educators’ reading instruction in upper-elementary, self-contained classes for students with EBD. Using mixed methods to examine video observations of reading instruction and varied data sources on working conditions, we found that special educators who provided stronger instruction had a partner coleading their program, and consistent paraprofessionals, with time and support for training. Partners and paraprofessionals, together, protected special educators’ instruction time. Other conditions (i.e., material resources, role differentiation, role conceptions, planning time) emerged as potentially important, but evidence was less robust. Results indicate partners and paraprofessionals may be important forms of collegial support. These findings have important implications for improving the quality of instruction in self-contained settings for students with EBD.
