Evaluation of occupational risk for health of operators of petrochemical production and their physiological and hygienic stipulation

Abstract

The modernization of the technological process in the petrochemical industry has reduced the degree of influence of adverse factors of the production environment, but not eliminated the adverse impact of industrial environmental factors on the health ofworkers. Factors failed to meet hygienic standards in the workplace of operators were shown to be are electromagnetic radiation, chemicals (ammonium, nitrogen dioxide), industrial lighting. In addition operators ’ work is characterized by high intensity of the labor process. Therewithal the labor of operators is characterized by the high intensity of the working process. For the operators ofpetroleum industry there is typical the risk from the combined exposure of the complex of chemical substances and noise, this risk proves both to be both potentially dangerous and increase in dependence on doses offactors and length of service. The level of individual professional risk in 32% of the operators is high; risk group for the profession is defined as high. In most cases, in operators of both small and long experience there was established the decline in the functional state of the central nervous system, the predominance of sympathetic tone in the regulation of adaptive processes, reduced reactivity of the autonomic nervous system and the more the length of service among operators the more the number of cases with poor adaptation and its breakdown.

Analysis of individual occupational health risks for workers with basic occupations typical for oil processing enterprises

“…В отечественной практике в последнее десятилетие также стал актуальным поиск эффективных систем управления профессиональными рисками здоровью рабочих путем влияния на экспозицию производственных факторов, их интенсивности, а также учета индивидуальной чувствительности организма рабочих к профессиональным вредностям [15][16][17]. Одной из эффективных методик систематического подхода управления профессиональными рисками на производстве является количественный расчет ущерба здоровью рабочего при выполнении своей профессиональной деятельности 2 [18][19][20]. В качестве ключевых критериев количественной оценки риска здоровью используется прогноз сохранения жизни, здоровья, функциональных возможностей организма рабочего и здоровье его будущего поколения 3 .…”
