The work presents data analysis of the results of special assessment of working conditions for workers of various branches of economy in the Bashkortostan Republic. Results of special assessment of working conditions (SAWC) and medical examinations were used for the analysis. It is noted, that some professional groups, for example, persons performing their work in the sphere of agriculture, have no exposure to the biological factor. Construction workers were not exposed to industrial vibration, while the noise level for half of the analyzed cases was of class 2.0, although in most cases, industrial noise and vibration have single source. Proportion of facilities that revealed a discrepancy between levels of harmful industrial factors and requirements of sanitary legislation remains high. The greatest share of objects does not correspond to sanitary and epidemiological requirements according to the chemical and physical factor. At the moment, SAWC does not fully reflect the working conditions of employees in different sectors of production. Underestimation of its influence on working conditions of workers is typical for a considerable number of professional groups and individual jobs. Analysis on the basis of SAWC is not sufficient for a hygienic assessment of the impact of production environment factors and labour process on health and requires comprehensive assessment methods.

The trend observed in the Russian Federation in recent years, according to the Federal Service for Labor and Employment, towards an increase in cases of sudden death in the workplace from general diseases, makes it necessary to study the frequency of cases of sudden death in the workplace from general diseases at enterprises of various types of economic activity. In this regard, we have analyzed the materials of the investigation of accidents of sudden death from common diseases, recognized during the investigation as not related to production. It is established that in 2014–2018 the number of deaths was 268 people. The highest rate of sudden death in both men and women, it is observed in the age range of 56–60 years. It was revealed that the main causes of sudden death of employees were diseases of the circulatory system, which accounted for 91.4% of cases. The above justifies the need to develop a set of measures to reduce the risk of death from common diseases in the workplace.
