ANALYSIS OF MORBIDITY AMONG EMPLOYEES OF HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING FACILITIES (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE CHARVAK HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION)

Abstract

 The present research paper provides an in-depth analytical assessment of morbidity among employees engaged in hydraulic engineering enterprises, based on the empirical study conducted at the Charvak Hydroelectric Power Station (HPP) during the years 2022–2024. The investigation focused on morbidity accompanied by temporary disability, considered one of the most reliable indicators of the health status and occupational well-being of industrial personnel.

The obtained data allowed the authors to establish a clear connection between the health condition of workers and the degree of exposure to unfavorable production factors inherent in hydraulic engineering facilities. The study identified the specific occupational groups most affected by morbidity, analyzed the age and work-experience dependence of disease occurrence, and determined the predominant nosological forms contributing to temporary disability.

It was revealed that the majority of cases were caused by respiratory diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, and injuries related to ergonomic strain and environmental fluctuations. The findings highlight the importance of systematic preventive and hygienic interventions aimed at improving working conditions, reducing professional risk, and enhancing the overall health monitoring system within hydraulic engineering enterprises.

This research substantiates the necessity of integrating occupational health surveillance programs and targeted preventive actions into the operational structure of the Charvak HPP, contributing to the national strategy of improving workers’ health and safety.
