Comparative assessment of the professional health of workers in the main types of economic activity and mining of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Bashkortostan

Abstract

An analysis of occupational risks to the health of workers, the fundamental components of which are injuries and occupational morbidity, is extremely relevant, primarily for those industries where working conditions remain difficult and harmful and there are restrictions on hiring for health reasons, including at mining enterprises mineral. The purpose of the work is to study the consequences of exposure to harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions for employees of the main types of economic activity and mining of the Republic of Bashkortostan for the period 2011–2020. and comparing them with similar data for the Russian Federation. Sources of information — statistical reports, reports and materials published on the official websites rosstat.gov.ru, rospotrebnadzor.ru, 02.rospotrebnadzor.ru, bashstat.gks.ru, mintrud.gov.ru, mintrud.bashkortostan.ru. The average long-term level of occupational morbidity in Russia for the study period was 1.45 per 10 thousand workers, in the Republic of Bashkortostan — 0.910/000. A steady decrease in intensive indicators of occupational morbidity in dynamics by 2.5 times in Russia and almost 3 times in the republic was noted. The average annual rates of occupational morbidity in the production of minerals in the country ranged from 21.2 in 2019 to 32.75 in 2013 per 10 thousand employees (average 29.04 0/000), in the republic — 6.0 per 10 thousand employees, which is 7.3 times higher than the national average. The average number of victims with disability for all types of economic activity in Russia was 1.2 times higher than the national indicator, the average injury severity indicator in the region exceeded the same value in the country by 11.4 %. An excess of the average long-term indicator of the frequency and severity of injuries at the country's mining enterprises in comparison with the indicators of general injuries was noted. The data convincingly testify to the existing problems in the production of minerals, causing increased rates of occupational morbidity and occupational injuries with severe outcomes.
