RU: Проведенный статистический анализ степени влияния профессиональных и возрастно–стажевых характеристик на заболеваемость работников транспорта позволил прийти к заключению, что стаж работы оказывал более существенное, нежели возраст, влияние на показатели заболеваемости, что позволяет ставить вопрос о профессиональной обусловленности заболеваемости указанного контингента работающих
EN: One of the main types of land transport is the railway. Its advantages over other modes of transport – is all–weather, high reliability, ability to carry out mass transportation of people and goods at relatively long distances at relatively high speed and low cost.
Given the importance of rail transport in the functioning and development of the country, hygienists comprehensively studied the working conditions of its workers and harmful factors affecting their health [1–4]. The results of research scientists suggest that workers are employed main railway occupations and professions to ensure the safety of trains in adverse industrial conditions involving complex effects of harmful and hazardous factors of different nature and intensity.
Employees of a large number of railway professions linked to the performance of professional duties under intensive neuro–emotional stress. Operation of technical equipment and rolling stock for repairs and track works are accompanied by a high dusting, the release of various chemicals, intense noise, vibration, the presence of strenuous exercise, exposure to unfavorable microclimatic and others. All these conditions determine the occupational risk and cause the development of diseases of workers [5 ]. In addition, the intensity of the impact of production factors on working all the time increases because of wear and aging process equipment. All this increases the potential risk of production dependent disorders health.
Thus, it is clear that working conditions in rail transport impact on the health of employees, which in turn necessitates a comprehensive in–depth study of hygiene and medical and social factors determining the development of measures to ensure the health of the personnel serving high–speed magnetic levitation transport.
