Abstract

Abstract. Occupational risks affect the health of miners and up to 40% of labor losses
are caused by diseases directly or indirectly connected with unfavorable working conditions.
The research aimed to determine the degree of connection of the disease incidence by
temporary loss of working capacity of coal mine workers with working conditions, which was
estimated for all classes of diseases and the relative risk (OR) value was 1.69 units, etiological
share (EF) - 41% and was estimated as average. These incidence rates for the disease classes
were almost complete: Class XIII (OR=5.08 units; EF=80%) and Class XIX (OR=5.03 units;
EF=80%), and high for the disease classes: Class XI (OR=2.57 units; EF=61%) and Class X
(OR=2.46 units; EF=59%). This relationship by day was almost complete among: Class X
(OR=6.18 units; EF=100%), Class XI (OR=7.27 units; EF=100%), Class XIII (OR=7.79
units; EF=100%), and Class XIX (OR=17.87 units; EF=100%). Among workers engaged in
underground coal mining, the value of ОR=1.4 units, EF=29.3%, was occasionally observed
and assessed as small. Relationship of the disease to underground working conditions was
assessed as very high by disease classes: Class X (OR=3.6 units; EF=72.1%), Class XI
(OR=3.8 units; EF=73.5%) and Class XIII (OR=4.8 units; EF=79.1%). The disease
relationship by day was almost complete: in Grade XI (OR=5.3 units; EF=100%) and Grade
XIII (OR=8.9 units; EF=100%), and high in Grade X disease (OR=3.0 units; EF=100%). The
risk of eating disorders of workers was identified by class XI disease and was assessed as very
high in cases (OR=3.8 units; EF=73.8%). A high degree of occupational conditionality was
determined for Class XIII disease (OR=2.2 units; EF=55.3%).
