Abstract

Introduction. The hardness and intensity of working process assessment is the actual cause at least in 20 % of workers in the country employed in workplace settings with hard working conditions. Hygienic assessment of working conditions makes it possible to perform prior assessment of occupational health risks and to predict prevalence of negative health outcomes. The application of survey method is also actual taking into account the existing difficulties in the practical implementation of existing approaches to assessing the hardness of work. Objective of the study is to perform prior health risk assessment based on analyzing workers’ subjective perception of work severity. Materials and methods. Hygienic assessment of work hardness was performed using the existing approaches and by analyzing workers’ subjective perception of this factor, considering indicators and their criteria fixed in the valid Guideline 2.2.2006–05. To assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach in comparison with the analysis of time-lapse data, the calculation of indices of the validity of the results (sensitivity, specificity, predictive value, and accuracy) was performed. Prior occupational health risk levels were assessed in accordance with the Guideline 2.2.3969–23. There was created a sample included workers employed at a bearing production (n=95, age is 45.1±1.2 years, work experience in a given occupation is 16.5±1.4 years, 85% of workers were men). Results. Workers’ subjective perception of work hardness was analyzed using a specially designed questionnaire and an automated calculation template. The suggested approach turned out to be highly sensitive (94%), to have high prognostic value (84%) and accuracy (80%) in comparison with the conventional time study. Using workers employed at a bearing production as an example, we revealed priority indicators describing work hardness and established classes of working conditions. Prior health risk levels were unacceptable in 92.6 % cases and slightly different from the results obtained by time studies (83.2%, р=0.07). Limitations. A prior health risk assessment results cannot be extrapolated for other occupations with another working conditions. Conclusion. Subjective perception of a factor can be used in preliminary hygienic assessment of work hardness and following prior assessment of occupational health risks. To prevent negative health outcomes and minimize health risks for workers employed at a bearing production, it is advisable to consider the results of this study when making relevant managerial decisions.
