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.
Issues of reducing of occupational injuries at current are one of the most compelling issues for the Russian mining industry. The paper identifies the underlying factors of occupational injuries at the Kirov branch of Apatit JSC, assesses the risk of their occurrence and establishes their dynamics over a ten-year period. A statistical analysis of occupational injuries was carried out at the Apatit CF, the correlation dependencies of the risks of minor, severe, fatal and general injuries for the ten-year period under consideration were found. Based on the analysis, the mines of the company are ranked correlationby the level of industrial injuries.
