Area of Science:

• Occupational Health
• Public Health
• Epidemiology

Background:

• Occupational morbidity poses significant challenges to workforce health and productivity.
• Understanding disease patterns and contributing factors is crucial for effective intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

• To analyze occupational morbidity in a specific region, assessing its trends, levels, dynamics, and structure.
• To identify key factors and occupational conditions associated with the occurrence of occupational diseases.
• To inform and enhance occupational risk management systems for improved workplace safety.

Main Methods:

• Analysis of regional occupational morbidity data.
• Assessment of morbidity trends, levels, dynamics, and structure.
• Identification of occupational disease causal factors and conditions.

Main Results:

• Detailed analysis of occupational morbidity trends and structure was performed.
• Factor dependency of occupational diseases and their occurrence conditions were identified.
• The study provided data to specify an occupational risk management system.

Conclusions:

• The findings provide a basis for a more effective occupational risk management system.
• Improved risk management enhances problem-solving and work safety in production.
• This research contributes to better occupational health surveillance and intervention strategies.
