“…Вредными производствен ными условиями считаются факторы среды и трудового процесса, воздействие которых на работника может вызвать профессиональную патологию (заболевание), временное или стой кое снижение трудоспособности, повысить частоту соматических и иных заболеваний, привести к нарушению здоровья потомства 4 . В ряде исследований установлено негативное воздействие вредных производственных условий на здоровье работников разных сфер трудовой деятельности, например, горнодобывающей [1], металлургической [2,3], химической [4,5] промышленности, машиностроения [6,7], сельского хозяйства [8], железнодорожного транспорта [9,10] и др. Влияние на здоровье работников оказывает и характер осуществляемого труда.…”

“…По оценкам Всемирной организации здравоохранения, большинство стран теряют от 4 до 6 % ВНП изза проблем со здоровьем работающего населения, связанных с неблагоприятными условиями труда. При этом меры по охране здоровья на рабочих местах помогают сократить на 27 % продолжитель ность периода временной нетрудоспособности работников и на 26 % -расходы компаний на медикосанитарное обслуживание 5 .…”

Introduction: Health of the working population is a prerequisite for successful general economic development and improvement of labor productivity and the quality of life of workers. According to the World Health Organization, most countries lose 4 to 6 % of their gross national product due to health problems related to poor working conditions. Our objective was to analyze the relationship between subjective characteristics of health of the working population (self-rated health status, the presence of chronic diseases, frequency and severity of diseases, and days lost due to sickness) and conditions and nature of their work (occupation, physical activity at work). Materials and methods: The study was based on data of a regular stage of sociological monitoring of physical health of the population in the Vologda Region carried out by the Vologda Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2018. The statistical significance of the relationships was estimated using descriptive statistics (a method of multivariate analysis) using tools of the SPSS software package. Results: We found that the best self-rated health status was reported by the respondents satisfied with their working conditions, having little physical activity or walking in the workplace. The worst self-rated health status was reported by those dissatisfied with their working conditions, engaged in unskilled physical labor or sedentary work. It is extremely important to introduce the system of monitoring employee assessments of working conditions and health status using questionnaire-based surveys, to apply and disseminate the most effective health-saving techniques in the workplace taking into account the importance of psychological comfort.

Introduction: Production of ethylbenzene and styrene (EBS) is one of the most important stages in organic synthesis. The products have general toxic, hepatotoxic, irritating and narcotic effects on the human body. Severe exposures to EВS can induce pronounced disorders of the central nervous system such as styrene sickness and encephalopathy and of peripheral blood such as leukopenia and lymphocytosis. Materials and methods: We studied homeostasis indices in 376 workers of the main professional groups engaged in the production of EBS including equipment operators, repairmen, and instrumentation and automation fitters. Results: We established an increase in lipid peroxidation by the level of malondialdehyde amid an increase in catalase activity and a decrease in blood retinol and α-tocopherol levels. We also noted an increased activity of indicator enzymes including ALT, AST, GGT, and alkaline phosphatase. Significant changes in lipid metabolism in the form of cholesterolemia, triglyceridemia, a higher atherogenic index, and lower cholesterol of non-atherogenic blood serum lipids demonstrating atherogenic changes in the body were revealed. Conclusions: The earliest prenosological disorders in the body of the examined workers included an impaired hepatic protein synthesis, the development of cytolysis processes and a change in the integrity and functional activity of the liver cell in individuals, an imbalance in the oxidant-antioxidant system, one of the reasons of which was the adverse occupational exposure to hazardous chemicals. An increase in catalase activity is a protective compensatory reaction during the activation of free radical oxidation processes.
