Vibration disease for the period 2004‑2021 is characterized by a significant trend in the growth of the number of cases, amounting to +0.27 %/year. Hygienic and biomedical risk management technologies allow the employer to monitor the working environment and the health of employees of vibration-hazardous professions, to form risk groups for the development of vibration disease for the development of targeted prevention and rehabilitation programs. Conclusion. In order to increase the effectiveness of the existing occupational risk management system, it is necessary to update regulatory legal acts: to adopt «full vibration acceleration» as a normalized parameter of vibration in the workplace; to bring the provisions of the Methodology of the SOT in accordance with the current hygienic standards for general vibration.
