The author believes that a wide range of industrial activities of representatives of the construction professions and the impact of the environment plays a vital role in the development and progression of most occupational diseases. However, the harmful effects of these diseases on the body are greatly underestimated, which reduces the effectiveness of preventive measures and complicates treatment.
