Medical workers is a category of representatives of workers mainly concerned with brainwork and regarded as a more complex and responsible activity defined by significant intellectual capacity that requires in some cases physical efforts, endurance, performance of work in extreme conditions.

The statistical data shows that a death rate of medical workers under the age of 50 is by 32 % higher than general, and surgeons have even higher rate.

Researches on studying occupational health of medical workers are constantly expanding, but, unfortunately, do not give desirable effect.

Working environment of medical workers working in private therapeutic-and-preventive institutions, in some cases essentially differ from the working environment in state medical institutions. First of all, the majority of state TPI settle down in the buildings constructed by standard projects with account of all building and sanitary norms and rules. Private TPI¹ settle down frequently in the adapted premises and if these premises are used under lease then administration, as a rule, have no motivation to a foresight in such buildings of the repair, essential reorganizations etc.

Studying of labor health conditions of medical workers has shown that health of this category of individuals potentially can be threatened by consideгably more harmful and dangerous production factors than it takes place with representatives of other professions.

We carried out a study of microclimate index, noise level and EMR² of industrial frequency in premises of “Dostar med” LLP – private therapeutic-and-preventive institution in Almaty city in warm season of the year. The category of works of all examined people was defined at a level 2A.

Microclimate indexes of 13 workplaces of doctors of various profiles, laboratorians and nurses were surveyed. As a result of research it was found that levels of temperature, relative humidity and outputs from the limits of recommended specifications while speed of the of air movement was much lower than the recommended level (0.01-0.18 m/s instead of 0.3 m/s). The noise level on a workplace of a laboratorian in biochemical laboratories exceeded maximum permissible level by 13dB. The level of electromagnetic radiations of industrial frequency on a workplace of the nurse in physiotherapeutic department exceeded permissible level.

Thus, levels of physically harmful and dangerous production factors on some workplaces of medical workers of private medical institution exceed maximum permissible levels.
