To identify the main 50-year trends in evolution of working conditions at dust-hazardous enterprises in Western Siberia, the sanitary and hygienic characteristics of working conditions of staff with suspected occupational diseases, issued by the regional offices of The Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Wellbeing (Rospotrebnadzor) to 447 patients with pneumoconiosis diagnosed from 1960 to 2010 were analyzed, as well as a retrospective analysis of the dynamics of changes in working conditions according to the research reports of the Novosibirsk Research Institute of Hygiene for the period 1930–1960 was made. In the 1950s the most harmful silicotic working conditions were observed in sandblasters exposed to newly formed modifications of silica in concentrations of 20–340 mg/m3. Since the 1970s, industrial enterprises in Novosibirsk and the Novosibirsk Region have experienced a significant decrease in dustiness levels (by tens and hundreds of times) — up to 4–40 mg/m3. In the last decade of the XX century, at a number of enterprises, the volume of production and the overall working time, during which there was direct contact with industrial aerosols, decreased, and the proportion of 3.4 class working conditions over the last decade decreased by 2.49 times (p ≤ 0.001). There was a change in working conditions for the production of refractory materials and ceramic products. Electric welders with all types of manual welding were exposed to a combined effect of hazardous occupational factors without significant changes in the levels of industrial aerosols in the workplace.

Introduction the aim of the study. The implementation of risk-oriented model organization of the control and supervision activities of Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing with the assessment system of potential dangerous objects requires the creation of multiannual reliable database about the occupational working conditions which must include results of the production control for enterprises of all industries of the national economics of the Russian Federation. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of the use of the production control (PC) results of working conditions for the provision of sanitary - epidemiological wellbeing of the population. Material and methods. The study was conducted on materials of Russian Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing on the Leningrad region, Petrostat for 2009-2012. In analysis there were included software and PC results of working conditions in 420 industrial enterprises of various branches of the Leningrad region industry. To develop a regional model of PC program planning based on critical control points there was chosen the major refinery in the Leningrad region - Limited Liability Company “Production Association” Kirishinefteorgsintez “(LLC “PA “KINEF”). 3960 protocols of laboratory and instrumental investigation results of working conditions were made for the purpose of PC control on LLC “PA “Kinef” and 1921 protocols of PC results - on 420 industrial enterprises of the Leningrad region were analyzed. Results. The performed analysis revealed a number of problems to the application of PC results for the aim of working conditions optimization of employees, planning disease prevention program and the assessment of object’s sanitary-hygienic wellbeing. The method of critical control points (CCPs) in the planning of PC programs on the large industrial enterprises is proposed to use. On the example of “Kinef” there was shown the efficiency of the use of CCPs in order to optimize the PC programs. There was developed and implemented the regional model of the use of PC programs which allows to solve the problem of the significant increase of preventive orientation and efficiency of PC program at enterprises of all sectors of the national economy of the Russian Federation as an important element of the management of sanitary - epidemiological population wellbeing regarding to the maintenance of healthy and safe working conditions. Conclusions. Existing legal regulatory and methodological framework regulating the organization and performance of PC control and social - hygienic monitoring in the Russian Federation requires significant changes and additions what allow to increase the reliability of the objects classification on groups of sanitary-epidemiological wellbeing and to realize a risk-oriented approach to control and oversight activities.

Introduction. The mining and metallurgical industries form the basis of the economy of the Murmansk Region. Working conditions at industrial enterprises, combined with extreme climatic conditions of the Arctic, pose an increased risk of occupational diseases. The purpose of the study was to investigate working conditions and occupational disease rates among industrial workers of the Murmansk Region in 2007–2017. Materials and methods. We studies socio-hygienic monitoring data on working conditions and occupational diseases in the population of the Murmansk Region in 2007-2017 provided by the Federal Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology of the Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare, Moscow. Results. In 2008-2017, the most common occupational risk factors in the Murmansk Region included noise (25.8%), job strain (17.8%), and chemical factor (12.6%) while 39.2% of workers were exposed to a combination of occupational hazards. Over 10 years, the absolute number of workers exposed to dangerous and hazardous industrial factors decreased by 1.8 times. In the Murmansk Region, 84.3% of occupational disease cases were registered among workers of mining and metallurgical enterprises. In 2007-2017, the region experienced a significant decrease in occupational disease incidence mainly related to job cuts. The role of other factors (improvement of working conditions, health promotion) needs to be clarified; yet, it is possible to predict their positive influence on occupational morbidity in the next few years. Conclusion. To achieve a substantial decrease in occupational disease incidence rates, it is essential to keep improving comprehensive measures aimed at preserving workers’ health in the Murmansk Region.

Introduction. Despite the improvement of technologies for the production of petrochemical products, against the background of the positive dynamics of occupational morbidity in the whole production of chemicals and chemical products, according to official data, occupational diseases are recorded annually at the industrial enterprises. In this regard, studies that will reveal the causal relationships between occupational diseases and the development of preventive programs aimed at eliminating the influence of harmful substances on the workers’ bodies and ensuring safe working conditions are relevant. Material and methods. There was carried a retrospective analysis of occupational morbidity indices out due to acute and chronic occupational diseases caused by a chemical factor over 39 years (1980-2018) in workers of one of the leading petrochemical enterprises located in the Volga Federal District. This company includes more than a dozen industries located on one industrial site. Occupational morbidity was assessed in absolute and relative terms. The occupational morbidity index, an integral indicator of the frequency and severity of occupational diseases, occupational risk levels in terms of occupational morbidity were determined in accordance with the Guide “Occupational Health Risk to Workers”, edited by Izmerov N.F., Denisov E.I. Results. The working conditions of petrochemical workers that are part of the enterprise structure are unsafe; cases of acute and/or chronic occupational diseases caused by chemical factors are annually recorded. In the structure of occupational morbidity, chronic toxicity ranks first. The level of occupational risk according to indices of occupational morbidity among workers of heptyl production corresponds to above average, among workers of ethylbenzene-styrene and butyl alcohols - to average. Conclusion. Based on the analysis of the occupational morbidity of petrochemical workers, a prevention program including a number of organizational, technical, sanitary and hygienic, as well as medical and preventive measures have been developed.

The goal of the work was to study the working conditions, dynamics and structure of occupational morbidity in the Belgorod Region throughout 2014–2016. The analysis was carried out on the basis of the data from the Offi ce of the Federal Service on Supervision in the sphere of consumer rights protection and human well-being in the Belgorod region, data of the Belgorod Regional Center for Communicational Pathology. There was registered an annual increase in the number of people whose working conditions are the main cause of professional diseases having a signifi cant impact on their professional health and, accordingly, on the level of occupational morbidity. Professional morbidity for the past 3 years remained in the range of 1,74-1,47 cases per 10 000 workers in the Russian Federation and 0,86-1,5 in the Belgorod region. In the structure of occupational pathology diseases caused by physical factors prevail. The second place is taken by the diseases associated with exposure to physical overloads, and the third place is taken by the diseases from the eff ects of the chemical factor, industrial aerosols. The level of registered chronic occupational morbidity does not refl ect the real situation associated with the state of working conditions at the workplace. It is also necessary to note the unsatisfactory quality of periodic medical examinations and failures to reveal initial signs of occupational diseases. The majority of identifi ed occupational diseases have chronic forms in long-term employees (35-40 years old) and in the age group over 50 years. A complex approach to the goals to preserve the health of workers, taking into account the interdepartmental regulation of the system of measures, will ensure the preservation of labor potential, increase labor longevity, reduce the overall and occupational morbidity.

Abstract. Introduction. Currently, the preservation and strengthening of the health of the working population is one of the priority tasks of healthcare in the Russian Federation, including in the Samara region. Up to 39.7% of the able-bodied population of the country works in conditions that do not meet sanitary and hygienic requirements. Unsatisfactory working conditions are the main cause of the development of occupational diseases among the working population in the Samara region. Objective: to assess working conditions and occupational morbidity in the Samara region, the causes of low detection of occupational diseases. Methods: methods of sanitary and hygienic monitoring of working conditions at enterprises of the Samara region and statistical analysis of occupational morbidity were used in the work. Results: In the Samara region, when assessing working conditions at industrial enterprises, according to the data of the territorial department of Rospotrebnadzor, 76 (2.72%) objects from those under control were classified as extremely high risk objects, 287 (10.27%) high risk, 926 (33.14%) significant risk, 1236 (44.24%) medium risk, 265 (9.49%) moderate risk, 4 (0.14%) low risk. Unsatisfactory working conditions are the main cause of the development of occupational diseases. Thus, 451 cases of occupational diseases and poisoning have been registered in the Samara region over the past 3 years: in 2020 – 107 cases, of which women have 62 cases (57.94%), in 2019 – 128 cases, of which 47 cases in women (36.7%), in 2018 – 216 cases, of which 63 cases in women (29.2%). Conclusions: Working conditions at a significant number of enterprises in the Samara region do not meet sanitary and hygienic requirements. The state of conditions in the Samara region does not always reflect the levels of occupational morbidity at work, including due to the poor quality of periodic medical examinations. In the structure of nosological forms of occupational diseases in the Samara region in 2020, the first place is occupied by diseases associated with the effects of biological factors – 42.99% (including due to cases, including fatal cases of new coronavirus infection COVID-19 in medical workers), the second – physical factors (33.64%), the third – industrial aerosols (10.28%), the fourth – chemical factors (5.61%), the fifth place was occupied by diseases associated with physical overload and overstrain of individual organs and systems – 4.67%, on allergic diseases are in sixth place – 2.80%.

The article considers the patriotic movement of the workers, employees and of the whole population of Western Siberia to raise funds to build more military technical equipment for the Red Army. They worked voluntarily on Sundays, overproduced at plants and contributed all their earnings and personal savings, nonferrous metals and things to building aircraft, armored vehicles, ships and submarines, Katyusha rocket launchers, armored trains and other weapons and military technical equipment. One of the peculiarities of the Western Siberia workers and employees activities was their raising funds to build military technical equipment which was manufactured in the region. Thus, aircraft were manufactured in Novosibirsk and Omsk, armored vehicles in Omsk and Altay Territory, torpedo boats at Tyumen shipyard etc. According to the incomplete data, the biggest contribution to military technical equipment building was made by the workers of Novosibirsk Region (232,931,448 rubles); Kemerovo Region (266,120,000 rubles); Altay Territory (165,742,767 rubles). It was registered that on 28 February 1943, the inhabitants of Omsk raised 48,584,042 rubles to build military technical equipment. The exception is Katyusha rocket launchers which were manufactured in Ural Territory and ammunition for them was made in Western Siberia, and submarines.
