Abstract: In the article, there have been presented the results of the occupational diseases risk prediction in assemblers of vessel metal hulls (VMH) of the Northern Region Machine Building Plant. Assessment of the VMH assemblers working conditions has been made on the ground of the materials of the assessment of workplaces and sanitary and hygienic characteristics of the working conditions composed for the patients suspected of having occupational diseases according to Guidance Р 2.2.2006-05. The occupational diseases… Show more

At aircraft manufacturing enterprises, tens of thousands of employees work, whose labor conditions in most cases do not meet sanitary and hygienic requirements. Material and methods. The work assesses the risk factors of the production environment of aircraft assemblers using instrumental research methods, there was performed a physiological assessment of severity and exhaustion levels to determine the main areas of prevention. Results. The noise and vibration were determined as prioritized harmful impact (physical) factor for workers. Vibration is perceived by all tissues of the body, but mostly by the nervous and bone system. The bone system that serves as a good conductor and resonator of vibration. The nerve endings and, above all, the receptors of the skin of the distal parts of the hands are the most sensitive to the effects of vibration. The vestibular apparatus actively reacts to vibrational stimulation. In addition, vibrations of high frequencies can have an effect on the hearing aid that is close to the effect of noise. Discussion. The results of studies indicate a high risk of the formation of occupational pathology as a result of the complex impact of physical factors and the severity of the work process. Conclusion. Studies have shown the need to introduce rational work regimes and a system of treatment and prevention activities.

Introduction: Health effects of welding fumes in workers are not limited to fibrosis and irritation of the respiratory tract. Inhalation of a complex mixture of particles and gases from the workplace air can cause damage to the central nervous system and higher incidence of nonoccupational diseases attributed to toxic, allergic, and carcinogenic effects of this risk factor. Objective: To study characteristics of somatic comorbidities in welders with occupational diseases of the respiratory system. Materials and methods: The study involved 140 male patients aged 48 to 60 years suffering from occupational respiratory diseases. The main (first) group included gas and electric welders while the reference group consisted of miners and millers with silica-related lung diseases. The mean occupational exposure to industrial aerosols in the groups was 22.8 ± 6.7 and 22.3 ± 6.9 years, respectively. We conducted a questionnaire-based survey and clinical laboratory testing of the workers. The intergroup differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05. Results: We established that lesions of the mucous membrane of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum were the most prevalent comorbidities in the electric welders (72.7 %), followed by dyslipidemia (47.3 %), stage I hypertension (36.4 %), liver diseases (31.8 %), kidney damage (31.1 %), stage II and III hypertension (27.8 %). Coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus were much less frequent and observed in only 4.5 % of the welders. Mucosal lesion of the upper gastrointestinal tract and liver diseases were more prevalent in the welders compared to the reference group. Study limitations: Statistical analysis was carried out using a nonparametric test to compare two independent samples. Conclusions: Exposure to welding fumes inducing occupational respiratory diseases increases the frequency of a combination of such nonoccupational diseases as lesions of the mucous membrane of the upper gastrointestinal tract and liver damage.
