“…Such examination fails to ascertain the best time for safe employment or contract termination in harmful working conditions. The reason for such inefficiency may be both poor diagnostic equipment and their insufficient training in early occupational diagnosis [ 34 ]. Thirdly, multimorbid pathology is a consequence of the combined effects of several hazards, which is mainly due to outdated technological processes.…”

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 Occupational multimorbidity resulted from the increased combined exposure to occupational hazards, outdated technological processes, and the working conditions in the finished product cleaners and crane operators.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.

“…Это препятствует выполнению задач по своевременному выявлению общесоматических заболеваний, начальных форм профессиональных заболеваний, ранних признаков воздействия вредных производственных факторов на состояние здоровья работников, по динамическому наблюдению за состоянием здоровья работников. Затруднено выявление и профилактика заболеваний, являющихся медицинскими противопоказаниями для продолжения работы, связанной с воздействием вредных производственных факторов [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Указанные проблемы в значительной степени характерны и для стран, реализующих сходные с Россией модели организации охраны здоровья работников, занятых на работах с вредными и (или) опасными условиями труда [21][22].…”

Background: As of today, there is no unified health information system that registers and systematizes the results of periodic medical examinations of workers exposed to occupational hazards in the Russian Federation. Our objective was to examine the results of periodic medical examinations in the Sverdlovsk Region over a five-year period. Materials and methods: We reviewed medical reports and conclusions issued by regional health facilities in 2015–2019 and submitted to the Regional Occupational Health Center of the Yekaterinburg Medical Research Center for Prophylaxis and Health Protection in Industrial Workers, and analyzed completeness and timeliness of their submission. Results: We established that occupational health assessment based on the results of periodic medical examinations is complicated by late and incomplete data reporting by healthcare facilities of the Sverdlovsk Region. Conclusions: Our findings prove the importance of creating a “Periodic Medical Examination” subsystem of the unified state health information system. Providing access to standardised results of periodic medical examinations based on a single digital platform to all professional participants of the national occupational health system will enable data recording, analysis and assessment at the interregional and intersectoral levels, as well as at the level of business entities, and facilitate their use for the purposes of workers’ health risk management. Timeliness of reporting and completeness of date entry in the “Periodic Medical Examination” subsystem (or a Federal Registry of Periodic Medical Examinations) may be monitored and verified by local Rospotrebnadzor bodies to be connected to the unified state health information systems of constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

In the tense economic and epidemiological conditions that have developed in the country, Rospotrebnadzor bodies and Occupational Pathology Centers in the Republic of Bashkortostan consider monitoring and analysis of the state of the production environment, indicators of occupational morbidity to be significant areas of their activities. Aim: to study the state of working conditions and occupational morbidity in the Republic of Bashkortostan during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The analysis of the main hygienic parameters of harmful factors of the production environment, indicators of occupational morbidity at industrial and agricultural enterprises of the Republic of Belarus for 2020-2021 was carried out. Results: According to the data of the Rospotrebnadzor Department for the Republic of Bashkortostan, the number of objects with the status of extremely high and high risk at enterprises of the manufacturing, agricultural sectors and the construction industry is significantly higher than the national average. In the same industries, the largest number of jobs have been registered that do not meet the hygienic standards in terms of qualitative and quantitative characteristics. The most harmful production factors affecting the formation of the working environment at almost all industrial and agricultural facilities of the republic are factors of the physical nature and the labor process and, as a consequence, the development of occupational diseases in workers. During the period 2020-2021, 122 cases of occupational diseases and poisoning were registered in the republic. For the first time in the practice of hygienists and occupational pathologists of the republic, the biological factor had a significant impact on the qualitative and quantitative components of occupational morbidity. Conclusions: Against the background of the ongoing pandemic of a new coronavirus infection, there is a deterioration in working conditions and occupational health of workers, which requires the development of effective mechanisms that provide for the responsibility of interested government agencies and employers for the attitude to the working environment and the health of workers.
