HYGIENIC ASSESSMENT OF WORKING CONDITIONS AND HEALTH RISKS AMONG WORKERS OF A THERMAL POWER PLANT IN FERGANA

Occupational hygiene is one of the branches of medicine that studies working conditions and their specific characteristics in industries where work activities impose high demands on workers, involve hazardous and harmful factors, and are accompanied by high neuropsychological stress, which may lead to early morbidity and premature termination of employment. The comprehensive impact of unfavorable industrial factors negatively affects the functional state of the human body, which in turn leads to a decrease in the level of occupational health and reliability of professional activity. Ensuring high efficiency and reliability of occupational performance while preserving workers’ health under such conditions remains a priority task of occupational hygiene.
