Aim and method: An exploratory and descriptive study to obtain basic data on the extent, nature, sources and severity of injuries sustained on fruit farms was conducted. The possibility of utilizing lay health workers (LHWs) on farms to document routine information on injuries was also investigated. Descriptive information of all injuries occurring on selected farms, both occupational and other, needing some form of treatment, were documented over a one-year period from June 1999 to May 2000. A purposive non-probability sampling method was used. Forty-eight fruit farms with a history of trained LHWs were purposefully selected. Injuries were documented using a one-page questionnaire. Results: A total of 500 injuries were recorded, giving an average of 10.4 injuries per farm per year. Half of these injuries were work-related. Workers aged 20-39 were most at risk. Injuries sustained were related to routine activities of fruit farming, occurred mostly in the orchards and involved cuts, bruises and abrasions to the hands, including the fingers, and the eyes. Most of the non-work related injuries occurred in and around the home. A third of these injuries were sustained by persons <20. A large percentage of the non-work related injuries were violence- and alcohol related. Most of the injuries required basic primary health care that could be managed by the LHW. Injury severity caused people to take time off for one third of the cases. Conclusion: A relatively high occupational injury rate in comparison to high-income countries. Occupational Health and Safety legislation needs to be institutionalized and adhered to. Alcohol and violence on farms is a serious public health problem. LHWs could potentially play an important role in documenting injury data.

Research Objects

For many years, morbidity with work-related diseases has been higher in Chukotka Autonomous Area (ChAA) than on average in Russia. Our research objects were working conditions and morbidity with work-related diseases. Our research goal was to examine reasons for work-related pathology occurrence, its structure, and prevalence in ChAA in 2008–2018. We examined data obtained via social-hygienic monitoring in 2008–2018 in Chukotka, paying close attention to a section entitled «Working conditions and work-related pathology». We established that noise (17.4%) and cooling microclimate (11.8%) were the most widely spread hazardous occupational factors in ChAA. 20.1% workers were exposed to a combination of hazardous factors. 13.5% workers were employed at industrial objects that belonged to the 1st surveillance group (the highest risks); 31.9% worked at economic entities from the 3rd surveillance group (average risks). In 2008–2018 216 work-related diseases were first diagnosed in Chukotka, mostly among workers employed at mining enterprises (81.5%). Sensorineural hearing loss / noise effects in the internal ear (35.2%) and respiratory diseases (31.9%) prevailed in their structure. 73.6% diseases were detected due to patients applying for medical aid themselves. In 2008–2015 there was a steady growth in work-related morbidity (from 1.94 to 13.5 per 10,000 workers), but there was a decrease in it in 2016–2018 (down to 5.11 per 10,000 workers) with considerable fluctuations in numbers of first diagnosed diseases. Risks of work-related pathology occurrence were higher in Chukotka in 2018 than in 2008: OR=2.37; CI 1.82–3.09; χ2=43.8; р<0.001. To prevent work-related pathology in Chukotka, it is necessary to continue activities aimed at working conditions improvement, in particular, reducing exposure to noise and aerosols with predominantly fibrogenic effects in mining industry in the region.

Industrial Injuries

The article describes the concept of «zero injury», within the framework of which the current level of injury rate in the coal industry is analyzed, the causes of juries are given, and also, the problem of personnel qualification is raised. On the example of JSC «SUEK-Kuzbass», the analysis of industrial injury rate is presented. There are three key causes of injury: technical, systemic, and human factors. Qualitative dependence of the level of injury rate on time is given in the implementation of preventive measures — technical, systemic, and aimed at the formation of a safety culture, proposed by the International Labor Organization as a hypothesis confirmed at the number of enterprises in the mining industry, construction, and transport. Detailed analysis is conducted on such factors as profession, age and experience of the victims, the time elapsed after the start of the shift until the injury at work, as well as the competence of employees in safety matters. According to the analysis over the past three years, the most traumatic professions are: drifter, engineering and technical worker, underground miner, electrical fitter (locksmith), face miner, mining operator and driver. The most frequent injuries occurred with the employees with work experience of up to a year, from 5 to 10 years, and over 15 years. By age groups, the largest number of injuries was recorded for the employees aged from 31 to 35 years, which roughly corresponds to 5–10 years of work experience. Considering such a factor as the time from the beginning of a work shift to injury, it shall be noted that the greatest number of injuries occurs at the beginning of the shift and in the period 4–7 hours from the beginning of the shift. In accordance with GOST R ISO 45001—2020, the conducted analysis is an element of risk assessment and opportunities for further improvement of training programs for the employees in the field of occupational safety.

The article is devoted to the assessment of occupational risks of employees of the nuclear industry. A literature review on currently used indices of occupational risks and working conditions on high-tech enterprises of the nuclear industry has shown that because of ther lack of occupational diseases related to exposure to ionizing radiation, and low level of industrial injuries, these indices are not appropriate for the inclusion in the evaluation of the individual professional risk. Classes of working conditions according to hazards and risk group health of the worker, work-related diseases and the level of allostatic load are sufficient for the practical assessment. The given formula for the calculation of the index of allostatic load according to psycho-physiological examinations as the part of the modern legislation is required to implement periodic medical examinations of workers of the nuclear industry. A developed one-dimensional multiparameter index and decision rules describe the level of the loss of health of the employee. The constructed regression model for classes of working conditions allows predict the level of losses of health of the employee. A risk matrix was developed for the evaluation of individual professional risk.
