“…Firstly, that was increased work duration, which is directly associated with increased exposure occupational hazards. The employee’s willingness to extend employment cannot be justified, since it entails worse health effects [ 31 , 32 ]. Secondly, this reflects failure of periodic medical examinations to accurately verify health status of an employee [ 33 ].…”

The purpose of the study was to obtain new data on the causes, development, prevalence and nature of occupational multimorbidity in the nickel industry workers. We extracted data from the register of occupational disease and intoxication cases in the population of the Murmansk region and the Krasnoyarsk Territory in 2007–2021. In 2007–2021, 24.6% of nickel industry workers with newly diagnosed occupational diseases developed a multimorbid pathology. Its prevalence rose from 0% in 2007 to 83.3% in 2021, and the number of occupational diseases increased by 3.17 times. Two diagnoses were found in 66 (14.9%), three in 22 (5.0%), four in fifteen (3.4%), five in eleven (2.5%), and six in three (0.7%) employees. Respiratory and musculoskeletal diseases were the most prevalent disorders, accounting for 31.5% and 23.0% of cases, respectively. Occupational multimorbidity resulted from the increased combined exposure to occupational hazards, outdated technological processes, and the working conditions in the finished product cleaners and crane operators. Multimorbid diseases can be better prevented with improvement in working conditions and better quality of periodic medical examinations.

“…Следует отметить, что в литературе традиционно изолированную систолическую АГ, прежде всего, рассматривают как возрастное заболевание [13,14] или же как следствие избыточного потребления соли [15]. Изолированная диастолическая АГ обычно рассматривается как следствие напряженности условий труда, сменного графика работы, воздействия ряда производственных факторов [16,17]. Ряд авторов считают, что для РЛБ характерна высокая степень частоты АГ как следствия воздействия условий труда [18,19], однако это не подтверждается эпидемиологическими исследованиями [20].…”

Hypertension is considered as one of the leading cardiovascular diseases in transport workers.Aim. In the context of epidemiological prospective study, to assess the prevalence of elevated blood pressure (BP) detected at pre-trip health screening (PTHS).Material and methods. We analyzed records of the database of PTHS automatic system for 15 years (2006-2020) to reveal elevated systolic (140 mm Hg) and/or diastolic (90 mm Hg) BP.Results. For 15 years, the detection rate of systolic BP >140 mm Hg has decreased by 4 times. For diastolic BP, the detection rate of values >90 mm Hg decreased by 8 times. The detection rate of non-normal systolic BP among railway staff correlates with the detection rate of non-normal diastolic BP (r=0,92; p<0,05) on different railways. Over the 15-year period, the number of suspensions from the trip due to PTHS has decreased by 2 times, while the number of suspensions due to hypertension decreased by 2,5 times.Conclusion. The conducted study may indicate the effectiveness of primary and secondary prevention of hypertension among Russian Railways staff.

“…In addition to harmful working conditions, the persistence of high occupational morbidity among miners may be due to the underestimation of developmental risks and insufficient detection of early pathological signs during annual health screening. Also, a negative impact is caused by the lack of a legislative framework for early (before the official diagnosis is approved) transfer of miners with signs of occupational pathology to jobs unrelated to occupational hazards [ 10 ].…”

For many years in Russia, apatite ore mining has been associated with high levels of occupational morbidity. The aim of the study was to retrospectively assess occupational disease trends in Russian Arctic apatite miners. We analysed data from routine health screening of 2 649 underground apatite miners in 2007 and data of social-hygienic monitoring “Working conditions and occupational morbidity” in 2008–2020. In 2007, according to the results of routine health screening, 6 778 chronic diseases were diagnosed in 2 649 miners, the most prevalent being musculoskeletal (34.4%) and eye (16.0%) diseases. In the next 13 years, 572 occupational diseases were first diagnosed in 300 (11.3%) miners, most prevalent being musculoskeletal diseases (47.2%). The risk of developing occupational diseases in tunnellers exceeded that in all other miners, including timber-men (RR = 1.56; CI 1.06–2.30), vibration-loading machine operators (RR = 1.67; CI 0.99–2.80), drillers (RR = 1.51; CI 1.08–2.11) and blasters (RR = 2.12; CI 1.55–2.84). We conclude that ongoing modernisation of ore mining processes and medical preventive measures should include more effective health-improving interventions for underground apatite miners. Findings from the analysis of data can be used by health professionals and policy makers to address these problems.
