[Principles and methods of evaluating tension of the functional systems in the body during work].

Grounded and worded concept stresses that the intensity of regulating mechanisms must be taken into account in evaluating the difficulty and intensity of work, criteria of intensity are suggested. Growth of intensity index, centralized administration or considerable number of correlations (above the average on the whole industry) and more synchronized functions during the work improve the intensity of work by one step above the results of the simple physiological evaluation of work intensity.

[Industrial hygiene in the modern manufacture of synthetic detergents].

Work conditions in the synthetic detergents production according to the new technology created by Sumitomo (Japan) were evaluated from hygienic point of view. The main unfavourable factor is the contamination of air by initial products (aerosols of sodium tripoli phosphate, carboxy methylcellulose, optic bleacher, enzymes et al.) and dust of the final product. Sulphur oxides appear in the air of the sulphating unit. Levels of noise and vibration are surpassed. At the same time the studied technology is more profitable than the current ones. Parameters of the cardiovascular, central nervous and neuromuscular systems do not indicate the physical and neuropsychic fatigue.

[The principles of the combined and simultaneous action of industrial factors].

The laws of the development of tension of the main systems and regulatory mechanisms of the organism of people working both under exposure to occupational factors altogether and to various combinations of ergometric indices of work. Joint action of unfavourable labour conditions (dust, industrial noise, insufficient lighting) and of working process factors (local muscular stress, hardness and tension of labour), as a rule, cause potentiation of unfavourable changes in the functional status of the organism. In the majority of occupational groups the factors studied predetermine in 76-96% of cases changes in the functional state of the major systems of the workers' organism.

[Health status of postal service workers].

The improvement of health status of post-office workers along with identifying the leading causes of morbidity is an urgent task. The analysis of morbidity according to medical examination data and temporary disability showed the prevalence of nervous diseases among sorters of postal wrappers and letters, circulatory diseases among sorters of printed matter and operators of communication service, musculoskeletal diseases among sorters of postal parcels and wrappers. The deducted equations of multiple regression permitted to establish the impact of medico-social and industrial factors on the development of certain groups of diseases. The greatest impact of industrial factors on the development of morbidity (61-66 percent) was found among sorters of postal wrappers and operators of communication service, whose labour was regarded as hard and strenuous work. High prevalence of neurotic reactions, hypertensive disease, occupational diseases of the bones and organs of movement was found among workers of this branch. The cause-and-effect association between morbidity and industrial factors permitted to substantiate the system of health promoting activities.

[Evaluation of the effectiveness of health-related improvement in working conditions of postal services employees].

Basing on the physiological and hygienic research performed after a series of prophylactic measures, it was established that the introduction of rational working conditions in combination with physically active rest influences most postively the functional neuro-muscular state of upper extremities in telephone operators and mail sorters, and has a positive bearing on the hemodynamic indices, CNS and regulatory mechanisms status of operators and mail sorters.
