Assessment, forecasting and management of occupational risk factors for occupational well-being disorders

Physical and mental health, a positive perception of oneself and one's surroundings, activity and efficiency are the main indicators of well-being. However, given the complexity of this phenomenon and the different approaches to its assessment, it is necessary to clarify the concept of occupational well-being in occupational health and medicine knowledge systems. There is a significant need to develop and update regulatory legal acts and methodological recommendations for assessing, monitoring and preventing risks of physical and mental health disorders in the workplace, taking into account industrial and environmental factors, the harmful effects of which on a person create unfavorable conditions for his life and determine the level of risk. the state of sanitary and epidemiological welfare of the population as a whole. Managed occupational risk factors for occupational well-being include hygienic (physical and chemical risk factors in the workplace); epidemiological (infectious risk factors and a high risk of infection associated with the performance of work duties); psychosocial (high occupational stress and emotional burnout); organizational and infrastructural (shift work, night shifts, regime violations jobs, etc.). As a result of the analysis of published studies, the authors have found that the subjective perception of professional well‑being, as well as its objective characteristics, are closely related to stress in the working environment, the rate of aging of the body and the corresponding risks of violations of the physical, hormonal and mental health of employees, which can be significantly influenced by harmful factors of the working environment and the labor process. To a certain extent, these conditions meet the criteria for classifying them as health disorders related to working conditions, which, in accordance with current legislation, require the development and adoption of measures to prevent them. However, the implementation of these requirements has not yet been fully methodically ensured.
