    Abstract:
    With the purpose of evaluation of the role of production-professional factors on the health status of sodium cyanide production workers, the working conditions (pollution of the air by chemical substances, microclimate, noise, vibration) were examined and the data on temporary work incapacity during 2000-2004 years were analyzed. Among the production-professional factors the pollution of the air of working surroundings by toxic substances, as well as the high temperature of air, noise and vibration were leading causes. It is shown that the working conditions have certain influence on the morbidity rate among the workers. Morbidity rate in the main group was 1,7 times higher. In the morbidity structure, diseases of respiratory, cardio-vascular, nervous, digestive and musculoskeletal systems were leading.
