Summary

INTRODUCTION

During the years of Soviet rule, the role and prestige of industries such as silkworms in the state economy increased. From the first years of Soviet rule, Turkipak focused on attracting women to the silkworm industry (from the revitalization of silkworm seeds to the cultivation of raw materials) [2]. The share of Uzbeks in the Uzbek labor force increased in 1928-1932 Their share in the silk industry was 78 percent. In the first years of Soviet rule, the existing normative working conditions for workers in factories and plants were not created. In the case of pre-silk production, the health of workers in the industry was affected by adverse factors such as air dust and increased humidity. For two years (1928, 1929) specialists of the Republican Dispensary studied the labor protection of seed plants on the example of workers of the Tashkent grenzavoda. As a result, when the health of factory workers was examined, it was found that the upper respiratory tract was damaged due to the fact that many of them had been repeatedly infected with diseases such as acute influenza, pharyngitis, and laryngitis
