“…At the same time, you can trace the full cycle of deep processing for each type of feedstock -from semi-fi nished products to fi nished products. The development of the textile industry solves several important problems: it satisfi es the material needs of people, taking into account the specifi cs of demand; contributes to a more effi cient use of labor resources in the areas where enterprises are located, primarily heavy metallurgy, since women mainly work at textile enterprises (up to 75%); creates enterprises in areas that are limited by territorial, water and energy resources [2,3]. Over time, the textile industry began to lose its strategic importance and now it no longer belongs to industries that are developing rapidly.…”

The article reveals the causes and consequences of accumulated problems in the development of the textile industry of Ukraine. The analysis of the state of the global textile market is presented. The processes of transferring centers of infl uence in the industry mainly from developed countries to developing countries are studied. The critical dependence of textile production on imported raw materials and semi-fi nished products is established. Attention is drawn to the need to strengthen the domestic raw material base, the revival and cultivation of fl ax, industrial hemp. The state of the implementation of foreign trade transactions in the industry is characterized the intensity of the fl ow of investment to strengthen its potential is investigated. Attention is focused on the need to strengthen the role of the state in supporting the development of the textile industry. Recommendations on further restructuring of the textile industry as an eff ective tool to increase its competitiveness have been developed.

“…The Fatigue, monotony and circadian rhythm can infl uence the performance of the operator [15]. Although the business dynamics of the current organizations want a proactive approach in identifying the preventing the risks, analyzing the work environment and working conditions is also vital [16]. Also, maintaining a work-life balance is a key element to the quality of the work done by the employee.…”

Indian Garment industry is one of the largest Asian industries. Studies show that occupational hazards can cause human, social, and economic losses. When the workers are made to work in ergonomically unacceptable workplaces, they become potent to Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD). Preventing the MSDs can help reduce absenteeism, and early retirement, improve productivity, and promote safety at the workplace. In this study, the risk of MSDs in the sewing operators was analyzed. Initially, data on the operators were collected through physical observations, interviews, and video footage. Analyzing the videos and physical observation of the operators, critical postures of the operators are chosen for the assessment. A systematic scoring method called Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) was used to assess a group of 43 operators. The results of the study stated that, among the 43 operators, 38 are in a medium risk level and 7 are in a higher risk level. The reasons for the risk levels included both individual and external factors. The resulting conclusions helped in understanding the risk and conveying better ergonomic intervention that can contribute to reducing the MSD in operators.

Objective. Due to the increasing use of phenol in various industries, there is an increased need for toxicological analyses in the region of Central Serbia. Toxicological measurements are implemented as a preventive measure to avoid occupational diseases, which is the primary goal of all occupational medicine institutions. The aims of this study were to demonstrate the significance of continuous biological monitoring of workers exposed to benzene, phenol, and phenolic resins, as well as the rapid and easy detection of phenol in urine by a semi-quantitative method. Methods. The study was designed as an analytical, observational, retrospective cross-sectional study. It was based on a toxicological analysis of phenol concentration in workers' urine and the processing of documented results from the records of regular systematic check-ups at the Institute for Occupational Health Kragujevac between January 2018 and December 2022. Results. The values of phenol in the urine of 61 patients were processed through statistical data analysis of patient records, of which 58 were male (95%), and three were female (5%). The obtained results show that there is no correlation between sex, age, and time of exposure with the concentration of phenol in the workers' urine (r>0.05). Conclusion. Biological monitoring of workers exposed to phenol and its derivatives is important from the perspective of professional toxicology. Exposure time, individual patient characteristics, and age are some of the factors that need to be taken into account when interpreting and issuing results. Semi-quantitative method for determining phenol concentration in urine has been shown to be fast, easy, and reliable. Due to the increasing need for phenol analysis, it is necessary to perform one of the more modern chromatographic methods for final confirmation of concentrations.
