Working potential evaluation in the territory of an oil-and-gas complex development in Siberia

Health estimation as the main component of the quality of working potential (WP) of Natives was studied in the territory of an oil-and-gas development complex. Social-medical and epidemiological methods were used on potential adult and teenaged workers in the northern territory of the Irkutsk region. The realization of an adventurous and active strategy of personnel policy is discussed. The adaptation of temporary workers from central regions to unfavorable social, climatic and occupational factors is difficult. It may lead to the appearance of psychosomatic diseases and a decreased capacity for work. The attraction of Natives' WP is connected with the expenses for conversion training and the development of a social infrastructure. The estimation of risks of main pathological syndromes has shown a low share in basically healthy persons among the adults and teenagers (27.5% and 44.4%). In adults, the most frequent risks were of neurological infringements, arterial hypertension and cordial ischemia, in teenagers it was for disorders of the gastro-intestinal systems, boundary mental frustration, and neurological infringements. For development resources of the Irkutsk region, the realization of a program of social and economic development as part of a region's overall development is necessary. It must include the development of the labor market, maintenance of employment of Natives and formation of qualitative WP, and corporate health management.
