analYSiS of The riSK STruCTure of injurieS anD oCCuPaTional DiSeaSeS in The MininG inDuSTrY of The far norTh of The ruSSian feDeraTion Purpose. To determine the value of the components and the impact of environmental factors on the risk structure of workplace injuries and occupational illnesses in the mining industry of the Far North of the Russian Federation, conditioned by the com bined influence of workplace factors and unfriendly climatic conditions. Methodology. The methodology for solving this issue is based on a comparative analysis of the dynamics of the risks of occu pational injuries and illnesses over a decade, both for Russia at large, for Murmansk region and the Komi Republic in particular, and for their mining industries, with further calculation of the "background" risk depending on the environmental and climatic specifics of the northern territories. findings. The paper contains a correlation analysis of workplace injuries and occupational illnesses in the Russian Federation, Murmansk region and the Komi Republic. The background rate of their risk is calculated. It was established that background risks for the territories of the Far North of the Russian Federation are adequately described by linear correlation. The specific weight of the background risk at the overall risk of injuries and illnesses for mining industries of Murmansk region and the Republic of Komi is established. originality. A method for calculating the value of the "background" risk and identifying its dynamics over a decade is devel oped. Practical value. The objectivity of assessing the risks of occupational illnesses and workplace injuries in the mining sectors of the Far North of the Russian Federation by factoring in the value of the "background" risk is increased.
The level of occupational injuries and occupational diseases in extractive mining industries of the far north of Russia is associated both with difficult arduous working conditions and also with climatic conditions unfriendly to humans. The paper presents the results of a correlation analysis of data on occupational injuries and occupational diseases occupational in the Russian Federation, the Murmansk region and the Republic of Komi. The values of the background risk of injuries and occupational diseases in each of the considered areas are calculated. The linear dependences of the background risk of injuries and occupational diseases from severe climatic conditions are established. On the basis of the study, the specific weight of the background risk was identified at the general risk of injuries and occupational diseases for the areas under consideration. The necessity of using background risk in assessing the risk of injuries and the risk of occupational diseases in the Far North of Russia is substantiated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
