Hygienic Assessment of Working Conditions and Occupational Health Risks Among Railway Transport Workers in the Fergana Valley
Keywords:
occupational health, railway transport workers, hygienic assessment, working conditions, occupational diseases, noise exposureAbstract
This study aimed to evaluate working conditions and occupational health risks among railway transport workers in the Fergana Valley. A comprehensive hygienic assessment of the working environment was conducted based on data obtained from 6,018 employees of railway transport enterprises. Hygienic measurements of microclimate, noise, airborne pollutants, and workplace factors were performed using standardized methods. Medical examination records, occupational morbidity statistics, temporary disability indicators, and questionnaire data collected between 2020 and 2024 were analyzed. The results demonstrated that workers were exposed to multiple harmful occupational factors, including excessive noise, elevated temperatures, airborne dust, diesel fuel vapors, and psycho-emotional stress. Musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, and sensorineural hearing impairment represented the most prevalent health conditions. Occupational disease rates increased with work experience and duration of exposure. Implementation of comprehensive preventive measures was associated with improved working conditions and substantial economic benefits.
