Evaluation of occupational risks of employees of the nuclear industry, according to a periodic medical examination and mandatory psycho-physiological examinations

The article is devoted to the assessment of occupational risks of employees of the nuclear industry. A literature review on currently used indices of occupational risks and working conditions on high-tech enterprises of the nuclear industry has shown that because of ther lack of occupational diseases related to exposure to ionizing radiation, and low level of industrial injuries, these indices are not appropriate for the inclusion in the evaluation of the individual professional risk. Classes of working conditions according to hazards and risk group health of the worker, work-related diseases and the level of allostatic load are sufficient for the practical assessment. The given formula for the calculation of the index of allostatic load according to psycho-physiological examinations as the part of the modern legislation is required to implement periodic medical examinations of workers of the nuclear industry. A developed one-dimensional multiparameter index and decision rules describe the level of the loss of health of the employee. The constructed regression model for classes of working conditions allows predict the level of losses of health of the employee. A risk matrix was developed for the evaluation of individual professional risk.
