Abstract: Introduction. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is necessary to look for new approaches to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases in the working population. Study objective. To study the hygienic influence of harmful and dangerous factors of the working environment and the severity of the labor process on the structure of the general dermatological morbidity in railway transport workers who ensure the safety of train traffic in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods. The complex of harmful production factors affecting railway transport workers was studied according to the sanitary and hygienic characteristics of the working conditions of employees of the Altai region of the West Siberian Railway of JSC "Russian Railways". The structure of the general dermatological morbidity was studied according to the statistical coupons of outpatient patients who applied to a dermatovenerologist in the CHUZ " CB "Russian Railways-Medicine" Barnaul for the period 2019-2020. Results. The conducted complex of hygienic, epidemiological and statistical studies showed that the combined impact of chemical, meteorological, physical, biological harmful production factors and the severity of the labor process (class 3.1-3.5) in railway transport workers who ensure the safety of train traffic leads to the development of such production-related skin diseases as contact dermatitis and psoriasis. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, skin infections (62.8%) predominate over non-infectious dermatoses in the structure of the total dermatological morbidity. The share of primary morbidity increased to 90.8%. The first rank is occupied by pyoderma (47.5%), the second – allergodermatoses (20.0%), the third – mycoses (11.6%). Conclusion. The COVID-19 pandemic leads to changes in the epidemiological and clinical features of dermatoses in the working population, which must be taken into account in their prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Introduction. Extending professional longevity, preventing diseases and improving the quality of life of railway transport workers are the priority areas of activity of RZhD-Meditcina medical institutions. However, the infl uence of production factors on the prevalence and course of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases in employees of this important branch of the national economy has not yet been suffi  ciently studied. The aim of the study is to study the hygienic features of working conditions in railway transport workers that aff ect the course of skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases.Materials and methods. Materials for hygienic and statistical research were sanitary and hygienic characteristics of working conditions of railway transport workers and statistical reports of the private healthcare institution «Clinical hospital» RZhD-Meditcina « of Barnaul for 2014-2018. A retrospective analysis of the incidence of temporary disability, the number of days of disability, and the number of exacerbations in employees of harmful professions in the Altai region of the West Siberian railway with chronic skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases was conducted.Results. According to the sanitary and hygienic characteristics of working conditions, the most unfavorable working conditions of all railway specialties are employees of locomotive crews and track fi tt ers. Combined eff ects of chemical, meteorological, and physical factors of the production environment and the severity of the labor process belong to class 3 (with a high risk of occupational diseases). Th is leads to a signifi cantly higher (p=0.010944) number of days of disability (27.8±0.83) and the number of exacerbations of chronic skin diseases in railway transport workers than in the rest of the adult population not in contact with occupational hazards (25.32±1.2).Conclusions. Th e combined impact of factors of the production environment and the severity of the labor process, despite the systematic comprehensive prevention, leads to a more severe course of chronic dermatoses in railway transport workers.

Abstract: The article discusses the issue of women's labor in the position of an assistant driver, analyzes the main harmful factors that women may encounter in the process of work. The labor intensity, in particular psycho-emotional stress and shift work, affects health, including reproductive health. The issue of conducting research within the framework of this issue is being discussed. Conclusions: The combination of unfavorable factors of the production environment and the labor process can have a harmful effect on the health (including reproductive health) of female machinists and assistant machinists. Under these conditions, the peculiarities of the functioning of the female body – increased sensitivity to the effects of harmful production factors during certain periods of the menstrual cycle require additional full-scale physiological and hygienic studies.

The Impact

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.

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.
