Evaluation of occupational risk as measure of likelihood and severity of damage to health consequences as a result of the adverse effects of industrial environment factors and the labor process usually carried out according to their exposure and indicators of ill health.

The most vulnerable is the state of health of the working population. According to WHO data about 25% of illnesses can be linked with the job. In the complex factors that influence the health of working age, the important role played by occupational risks: from 20 to 40% of loss of work caused by diseases, directly or indirectly related to unsatisfactorily working conditions. The problem of occupational risk is closely linked with the assessment of the health status of the working population in the aluminum industry (Pavlodar aluminum factory, “PAF”) in Kazakhstan.

The analysis of workers health indicates the growth of occupational morbidity as all over the country and in leading fields of industries. Virtually all the enterprises operating in Kazakhstan are exposed to numerous occupational hazards: vibration, exercise, etc., which poses a potential danger of their occupational diseases.

There are the pointed questions of the assessment the workers health in the metallurgical industry with the position of occupational risks, find causation risk of production factors influence the health of workers from the industrial environment factors and the development of primary preventive measures. The influence of working conditions and the production activity character in the subjective assessment of health and health workers were confirmed by correlation analysis with the reliability of 95-99%.

The development of science-based approaches to health management model workers of aluminum production from the position of the evaluation of occupational risks and the effects of applying preventive measures aimed at optimizing the work and increase the health professional will reduce morbidity and improve working conditions at industrial enterprises.

The chronometer studies found that 86,5+8,6% of their time engaged in fulfillment of the basic operations technologists chemical processes. The results of hygienic studies of working conditions of workers revealed that their work activity takes place in: dusty (CCK more than 9 mg / m 3, exceeding the MCL in 2,7 times), intense noise (exceeding the RC 10 to 18 dBA). Mechanisms are the sources of high noise levels in the workplace. Implementation of the main manufacturing operations is accompanied by considerable energy expenditure. The gainful employment of workers of the main shops and jobs is accompanied by significant sensory load on the visual and hearing aids. The conducted questionnaire survey revealed that the subjective state of health of workers depends on the production of such adverse factors as the impact of noise, dust, heaviness of work, eye strain, attention, hearing, and working posture, emotional stress due to the rapid pace of work. This effect on the occurrence of fatigue in the current (in 32,4%) and at the end of work shift (at 64,9%) and caused a variety of autonomic responses (18,3-36,6%) from various functional systems, which 31% sustained. Influence of working conditions and the nature of production activity in the subjective assessment of health and health workers were confirmed by correlation analysis with the reliability of 95-99%.

The results of complex hygienic studies of PAF working conditions, possible to identify the next major set of adverse vocational factors of production, effects on the body working within a work shift: a high level of gas contamination, industrial noise, adverse climate and heavy labor.

The foregoing convinces of the urgency of the problem, the validity of the methodological decisions on the principles of a systematic approach for evaluating governance in the health of the working population in the light of new scientific knowledge and modern requirements.
