Determination of the risk of professional pathology development in workers of mining and metallurgical industry of Ukraine
Journal Title: Медичні перспективи - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
Professional health is one of the informative indicators of the state of public health, which reacts sensitively to working conditions; this requires the development of new preventive technologies, taking into account the accumulated new scientific developments and the current economic state of the state. An upgradated existing method for determining the individual risk of developing occupational pathology by introducing ratio of class of working conditions, duration of work experience (years) and a ball, depending on the severity of the disease, allows to objectivize the risk of causing harm to health and offer adequate measures to manage occupational risk. There is a significant difference in the levels of relative risk of morbidity for occupational pathology among workers engaged in underground mining of iron ore (RR 5,45 with CI 95% 5,29-5,60 (p <0,05)), open ore extraction ( RR 1,82 at CI 95% 1,67-2,0 (p <0.05)) due to the peculiarities of the technological process and the levels of harmful production factors affecting the organism. The indicator of group relative risk for metallurgical production does not reflect the real state of occupational morbidity, which requires the identification of individual occupational risk in metallurgists. The conducted research opens the prospects for the development and introduction of modern and effective principles of professional risk management in the mining and metallurgy industry of Ukraine in order to improve working conditions and reduce occupational pathologies.
