Abstract

Introduction: The analysis of occupational morbidity is the most important tool for preventive measures development, aiming to working conditions improvement and professional health preservation. The goal of this work is occupational morbidity in Russia and other countries for 2010-2019 comparative analysis. Methods: Working conditions and occupational morbidity rates in Russia were analyzed, 2010-2019. Comparative analysis of occupational morbidity in Russia and other countries was carried out according to WHO, ILO and NIOSH (USA) data. Results: The share of people employed in harmful working conditions increased in Russia for 2010-2019. It reached more than 55% in certain types of economic activities. At the same time, occupational morbidity in Russia has been decreasing annually, for the period of 2010-2019 the decrease was 40.5% (1.73 in 2010, 1.03 in 2019). The occupational morbidity rates in Russia were significantly lower compared to other countries: by 18 times compared to France, by 10 times compared to Italy, by 5 times compared to Germany and by 12 times compared to the USA. Conclusion: Low rates of occupational morbidity in Russia compared to other countries, with a high share of people employed in harmful working conditions and extremely high mortality rates in working population indicate a possible problem of underestimation of occupational diseases.
