The working environment is characterized by the impact on the working of a complex of production factors (noise, vibration, dustiness, chemicals, electromagnetic fields, thermal and ultraviolet radiation, etc.)

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), about 50% of all factors affecting the health of the population lie in the sphere of lifestyle, up to 25% in the sphere of the state of the environment (including the working environment), up to 15% in the sphere of heredity and up to 10% - in the field of activities of health authorities and institutions.

It is almost impossible to identify a cause-and-effect relationship between morbidity rates and all production factors influencing them. This connection is most clearly traced in the occurrence of pathological conditions (occupational and work-related diseases) in the case of the predominant influence of certain factors.

I hope that the outlined idea of ​​assessing the complex impact of production factors on the level and forecasting of ZVUT will be continued.
