Abstract

The article defines the place and role of professional risk as a way of social behavior in conditions of uncertainty. It is shown that the International Labor Organization, the World Health Organization (International Standard Organization) deals with regulation issues or occupational risks management. Occupational risk is a complex phenomenon, by the definition of that there is no unity in dictionaries, encyclopedias, regulatory documents and scientific publications. It is determined that a person in the process of professional, often monotonous activity, gets used to risk, doesn’t notice and doesn’t evaluate professional risk. It is proved that the classes of occupational risk are determined depending on the level of occupational injuries and occupational diseases by type of economic activity, determines the degree of probability of the professional loss ability to work or death of an employee in the performance of labor duties, taking into account the results of the accident statistics analysis. It is suggested that occupational risk as a psychological phenomenon is always associated with decision making. The emphasis is placed on the fact that the concept of “professional risk” has a predominantly objective and permanent character, while the service one is subjective and situational. It is also important that professional, as well as official risk, should be considered as aimed at the subject, and, separately, at the object of risky activity. Thus, considering professional risk as a way of social behavior in conditions of uncertainty, we can conclude that in the composition of professional risk, it is necessary to distinguish a subclass of official risk, which is carried out in conditions of increased responsibility, and carries another, more intense psychological stress.
