[Industrial medicine in production and processing of alloys based on copper].

In copper alloys production, workers engaged into the process are exposed to occupational hazards with leading one being high-dispersed dust of complex chemical composition. The workers of main occupations demonstrate increased prevalence of respiratory diseases, digestive diseases, peripheral nervous system disorders - that necessitates implementation of complex measures both in improvement of work conditions and in medical prophylaxis.

[Improvement in methodology of occupational risk evaluation].

The authors suggest to supplement a method evaluating individual occupational risk with tree blocks of occupational and non-occupational risk factors: index of sanitary legislation requirements fulfilment according to experts evaluation; lifestyle index with individual biologic and behavioral risk factors consideration; index of social well-being, considering social economic and social psychologic risk factors at workplace.

[MEDICAL AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR REDUCING CHEMICAL OCCUPATIONAL RISKS IN THE PRODUCTION OF TITANIUM ALLOYS].

An innovative approach in the prevention and rehabilitation of workers employed in the production of titanium alloys envisages the implementation of targeted multi-stage rehabilitation measures in groups with high occupational risk.

[Individual and group occupational risk evaluation in metallizers in the process of covering titanium half-finished products with aluminum].

A purpose of this research is individual and group occupational risk evaluation at metallizers workplaces of titanium alloys production in the process of covering the titanium half-finished products with aluminum. The occupational risk has been estimated according to the hygienic criteria of Guide "P 2.2.2006-05", "P 2.2.1766-03", the individual occupational risk has been estimated according to the method, elaborated in Research Institute for Occupational Medicine of Russian Academy of Medical Sciences and Klin Institute of Work Conditions and Safety. The authors have established that the labor conditions correspond to the classes 2-3.1 in respect of air temperature, class 3.1--illumination, classes 3.3-3.4--noise. Assessing in general, with account of combined influence of the occupational hazards, the conditions have been attributed to 3-4 degrees of 3 class of harmful working conditions, that conform to the high and very high occupational risk levels. The individual occupational risk of the metallizers is characterized by the gradations from the average to very high one, the integral individual occupational risk for the group of metallizers as a whole has been estimated as the high one. Essential distinctions in the individual occupational risks should be considered while working out improving and rehabilitation actions.

[Evaluating occupational health risk in titanium alloys production workers].

The authors present data on evaluation of personified and non-personified occupational risk of health disorders in titanium alloys production workers, concerning hygienic, medical and biologic, social and psychologic criteria. One-digit assessment of the work conditions is suggested.
