Abstract

In all countries of the world, as well as in Ukraine, occupational injuries are an urgent problem of modern society. The analysis of accidents at Ukrainian enterprises showed that there is a problem of developing modern methods of preventing injuries and occupational diseases prevention. The main objective of prevention of occupational diseases at enterprises in Ukraine is to create safe and healthy working conditions, and to preserve the health of workers.

At the present time, there are accidents with fatal consequences on the Ukrainian factories, which indicates the unsatisfactory state of preventive work. The owner of an enterprise should objectively identify the real causes of an accident. This will provide a real opportunity for an effective search for ways to intensify preventive work and reduce injuries. Dangerous factors often lead to injuries, and harmful factors - to the disease. 80% of accidents at home and at work are observed for organizational reasons.
