ANALYSIS OF WORKING CONDITIONS ON THE STATE OF EALTH WORKERS IN THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY

Abstract

Relevance. The textile industry is one of the leading industries in the light industry, in which most workers are women. However, manufacturing technologies are harmful, and equipment of enterprises is outdated. Therefore, the optimization of working conditions in the industry is extremely relevant and important for improving the demographic situation in Ukraine.
 Objective: to analyze literary data on working conditions in the textile industry, to identify the main hazards in the industry and their impact on the health of workers.
 Method. Retrospective search in Ukrainian scientific sources for 2003-2015.
 Results. Influence chemical (dyes, acids, alkali, formaldehyde, carbon disulfide, chlorine compounds); physical (noise, vibration, microclimate); biological factors (microorganisms in the raw material); as well as unfavourable factors of the labour process (static load, slopes of the case, awkward posture, tension of the muscles of the hands and eyes) and dust onto textile workers It was found. Workers experience changes in the functional state of the central nervous system (vegetative-vascular disorders, hearing loss); respiratory tract (laryngotracheitis, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, bisynosis); bone marrow (flatfoot, osteochondrosis, varicose disease, radiculitis); genital system (violation of reproductive function); skin diseases (dermatitis, burns) and eyes (conjunctivitis, cataracts).
 Conclusions. The combination of chemical agents, noise and vibration is a leading factor in the negative impact on the health of workers in the textile industry.
