“…The present study is carried out on an actual topic, since long-term statistical observations record the highest occupational morbidity in the Kemerovo region in comparison with the data for the Russian Federation as a whole. The number of deaths and victims of industrial injuries in Kuzbass also consistently exceeds the national figures [1]. The deterioration of the health of miners, the increase in general and occupational morbidity inevitably leads to a decrease in their quality of life, to a deterioration in the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the labor force.…”

The quality of life is an integral indicator that includes the following indicators: the level of health of the population, education, employment, poverty, spending and consumption, life expectancy at birth, and so on. There are economic, social, ecological and climatic, political and cultural criteria for the quality of life. The problem of ensuring the proper level and quality of life of miners in mining regions is considered on the example of the Kemerovo region (Kuzbass). Unfavorable production factors in coal mining include meteorological conditions, pollution of the mine atmosphere with harmful gases, the release of coal dust during any technological processes, dust formation, lack of sunlight, noise and vibration, high risk of injury; difficult water supply and sanitation. These factors contribute to the formation of occupational diseases, which leads to a decrease in the quality of life. It is necessary to develop a set of measures to eliminate the identified problems: structural changes in the industry, the development of coal-technical, coal-chemical and energy-coal clusters, improving the consumer properties of coal products to expand sales markets, the formation of new professional standards and improving the system of training and advanced training of personnel, the introduction of unified systems of industrial and environmental safety.

he dynamic socio-economic development of Russia depends on the growth of labor force and productivity. This article introduces an analysis of labor productivity in coal-mining regions and the experience of Kuzbass mining. The authors explored the twelve-year dynamics of the labor productivity index both for the Russian economy as a whole and for its coal-mining regions. They identified the main trends in the management of labor productivity at the coal enterprises of the Kemerovo Region. The statistical analysis showed that the labor productivity index in Russia is slightly declining, especially in the mining industry. This negative trend can be avoided by applying new methods of personnel management, developing social and labor relations, involving employees in the labor process and encouraging their labor awareness, digitalizing all technological processes, and developing an effective contract.

The problem of incidence rate among workers of the main professions of the coal mining industry is traditionally considered from the perspective of occupational pathologies. At the same time, the issues of the spread of production-related somatic diseases among this category of the employable population are undeservedly left without due attention. The objective of the study was assessing the frequency of somatic pathology occurrence in workers of coal pits in the South of Kuzbass. 489 workers of the main professions of coal pits in the South of the Kemerovo region were examined (men aged 22 to 55 years, who were randomized into 2 groups according to the level of exposure to a complex of unfavorable factors of the production environment). The first group with a higher level of exposure to harmful and hazardous production factors of class 3.3 and 3.4 included 196 people: machinists of mining and technological equipment, machinists of drilling rigs, explosives; the second group with the level of danger and harmfulness of class 3.1 and 3.2 consisted of 293 workers, namely, drivers of technological motor vehicles. The study of the frequency of somatic pathology was carried out depending on the length of work experience and the age of the subjects. Each group was divided into subgroups: by the age and work experience. In group 1, somatic pathologies were detected in 52.0% of the cases, in group 2 - in 44.4% (χ2=2.772, p=0.096). In the structure of somatic diseases in the group with a higher class of danger and harmfulness, diseases of the circulatory system (38.24%), diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (12.75%) and diseases of the nervous system (8.82%) prevailed; in the group with a lower hazard class there were also diseases of the circulatory system (33.85%), diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (14.62%), diseases of the nervous system (12.31%). The frequency of somatic diseases is recorded in a direct linear relationship with the work experience and age of coal pit workers. Limitations. This study is limited to a sample of workers in the main professions of coal pits undergoing periodic medical examinations at the Research Institute for Complex Problems of Hygiene and Occupational Diseases. Conclusion. In the structure of somatic diseases of workers of the main professions of coal pits in the South of Kuzbass, three nosological forms occupy a leading position: diseases of the circulatory system, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, and the nervous system. Among the surveyed workers employed in coal pits with a higher level of exposure to harmful and hazardous production factors, a 100% incidence of somatic diseases was revealed among the respondents aged more than 41 years and with work experience over 21 years. These data should be taken into account when carrying out periodic medical examinations, preventive medical examinations, for the development and implementation of therapeutic and prophylactic measures and post-shift rehabilitation programs. Ethics. The study was conducted in compliance with the standards of the Bioethical Committee of the Research Institute for Complex Problems of Hygiene and Occupational Diseases, established in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration of the World Association "Ethical Principles for Conducting Human Scientific Medical Research" as amended in 2013 and the "Rules of Clinical Practice in the Russian Federation", approved by the Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 266 of 19.06.2003. All subjects signed an informed consent to participate in the study.
