Introduction. The analysis of working conditions of pilots of civil aviation aircraft has been carried out according to the data of sanitary and hygienic characteristics (SHC). The non-compliances with hygiene standards for several factors have been established at the same time in all SHC. Materials and methods. The 220 SHC of pilots, who had been examined in the clinic of FSBSI RIOH due to suspicion of occupation disease from 2015 to 2019, conducting flights by plane (49%) and helicopter (51%) were analyzed. The methods of account of acoustic load, hygiene assessment and classification of working conditions, peer review methods, and statistical treatment methods have been used. Results. The working conditions, according to the criteria of the Guide R 2.2.2006-05, are assigned to the following classes: 3.2 - in 26%; 3.3 - in 41%; 3.4 - in 33%. Exceeding the permissible equivalent noise levels was recorded at 92% of workplaces. According to SHC, the exceedances were from 1.2 dB to 34.5 dB (class 3.1-3.4). In assessing the work intensity in 83% of cases from 5 to 11 indicators of class 3.2 were recorded. It has determined class 3.3 of work intensity. The levels of general vibration exceeded hygiene standards in 48% of cases (class 3.1- 3.2), local vibration - in 8% (class 3.1-3.2), microclimate parameters - in 67% (class 3.1-3.2), labour severity - in 22% (class 3.1-3.3), less often there were discrepancies in light (6%) and chemical factor (2%). Conclusion. According to a combination of factors, the overall assessment of working conditions of the pilots of civil aviation aircraft in 74% of cases is assigned to classes 3.3-3.4. However, the disadvantages and errors in filling out the SHC can underestimate the degree of harmfulness of the work. To improve the procedure of establishing the connection between the disease, and the profession it is necessary to amend the legislative framework to obtain objective information about the levels of factors affecting pilots, develop a separate form of SHC of working conditions of pilots, detailed instructions about the rules of filling out SHC.
A comprehensive physiological and hygienic study was conducted to assess the intensity of work among members of flight crews of civil aviation aircraft flying on modern types of aircraft and helicopters (as of 2018). The results of the survey of 226 pilots indicate high levels of labor intensity of pilots, which exceed several times (up to 7.5 times).
Introduction. Discrepancies in the regulatory documents regulating the compilation of sanitary and hygienic characteristics (SGC) of pilots' working conditions, the lack of a complex of laboratory and instrumental studies conducted at the workplace and, as a result, incomplete and unreliable compilation of SGC, lead to difficulties in establishing the connection between the disease and the pilot's profession. The aim of study is to conduct a critical analysis of the quality of the preparation of the CGS, followed by identifying the main violations of the requirements of regulatory documents in the design of the CGS. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the quality of registration of the SGC of pilots with an established diagnosis of occupational disease was performed. Results. Contradictions in the current legal acts are established and discrepancies in methods for assessing the normalized indicators of working conditions of pilots are revealed. The data obtained indicate that the main requirements for filling out the SGC, justified by the specifics of the working conditions of pilots, are not taken into account when they are issued; when evaluating the measurement results, non-current regulatory documents are used, or documents that do not regulate the working conditions of civil aviation pilots. Conclusions. To improve the quality of registration of the SGC, it is necessary to update the current regulations and develop guidelines with the establishment of the form of the SGC for working conditions of civil aviation flight personnel in case of suspected occupational disease.
