Risk management is one of the main directions of occupational health at the present stage. At the same time, the analysis of factors affecting human health is an important component of this process. Many scientific papers have been devoted to the study of the health status of industrial workers, showing priority etiological factors contributing to the development of both occupational and chronic non-infectious pathology.
