Hygienic situation and occupational morbidity at copper-zinc ore mining enterprises

https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2025.91.22

Abstract

The article is devoted to the hygienic assessment of working conditions and their impact on the health of employees of a mining enterprise engaged in the extraction and processing of copper-zinc ore located in the Southern Urals. The relevance of the study is due to the need for a detailed study of the hygienic situation in all divisions of a mining enterprise in order to assess the levels of occupational risk of damage to the health of employees and timely preventive measures aimed at minimizing it. Priority harmful production factors have been identified in the workplaces of various departments: during underground ore mining, noise, vibration, lack of natural light, unfavorable microclimate, severity, and labor intensity; during transportation of extracted ore, vibro-acoustic factors, severity, and labor intensity; during ore processing, noise.
