Abstract

Introduction. Increasing and expanding the volume of aircraft production causes an additional burden on the health of employees involved in the production process and, accordingly, the risks of occurrence of both occupational and production-related diseases increase.

Aim of the study is to assess the occupational health risks for employees in main occupations of the aircraft building enterprise in terms of the incidence of temporary disability.

Materials and methods. The incidence with temporary disability (ITD) of employees of the main occupations of the aircraft building enterprise (ABE) for the period 2017–2021 were studied using methods of descriptive statistics. Significance level determined at p < 0.05.

Results. During the analyzed period there was the gain in ITD among working ABE was shown to be in all study groups. Average indicators for the number of cases, days of disability in working ABE in the main groups are higher of similar indicators in the control groups. During the qualitative assessment of ITD, average indicators for employees of noise and vibration-hazardous occupations in terms of the number of cases and days of disability were found to be very high, for those working in contact with chemicals – high.

Limitations. The results of this study are due to the general morbidity, excluding occupational, which requires further research.

Conclusion. In the current conditions of industrial development of the AВE, it is necessary to constantly improve preventive measures for labour protection aimed at reducing occupational risks.

Compliance with ethical standards. The study was conducted in compliance with the ethical principles set forth in the Helsinki Declaration of the World Medical Association of the last revision, with the informed voluntary consent of respondents and the approval of the Local Ethical Committee of the East-Siberian Institute of Medical and Ecological Research (conclusion No. 1 of January 14, 2021).
