Abstract
The level of occupational injuries and occupational diseases in extractive mining industries of the far north of Russia is associated both with difficult arduous working conditions and also with climatic conditions unfriendly to humans. The paper presents the results of a correlation analysis of data on occupational injuries and occupational diseases occupational in the Russian Federation, the Murmansk region and the Republic of Komi. The values of the background risk of injuries and occupational diseases in each of the considered areas are calculated. The linear dependences of the background risk of injuries and occupational diseases from severe climatic conditions are established. On the basis of the study, the specific weight of the background risk was identified at the general risk of injuries and occupational diseases for the areas under consideration. The necessity of using background risk in assessing the risk of injuries and the risk of occupational diseases in the Far North of Russia is substantiated.
