[The research achievements and prospects in the field of railroad medicine in providing traffic safety].

Experience in ensuring safe traffic at the All-Russian Research Institute of Railway Hygiene is summarized. Various aspects of this line of activities, such as medicopsychological professional selection, medical examination of engine-drivers, training how to behave in emergency, etc., are considered. Some new medical problems in ensuring safe traffic are presented.

[Clinical testing of hygienic criteria for assessing working conditions].

Occupational morbidity in railway transport is discussed. The rates of occupational morbidity are compared with that due to temporary working incapacity. There were no direct correlations between the incidence of major nosological entities of occupational diseases, the magnitude and rate of influence of industrial factors, which provides evidence for their further testing and correction.

Cardiovascular Diseases↗

[Main factors of occupational risk for railway workers].

The paper shows the specific features of development of occupational diseases associated with the classes of working conditions by the degree of hazard and risk. It provides a scientifically founded evidence for that the indicators of a potential risk of working conditions should be included into the methodology of assessment of a professional risk.

[Problems of ecologically-caused illness].

The paper presents data on environmental factor-induced changes in human health. The health status was studied in rail workers living and working in the areas exposed to radiation. This demonstrated a higher incidence of neoplasms, anemias, alimentary and circulatory diseases. Children had a high incidence of chronic lymphonoid tissue diseases and anemias. It is suggested that a complex of negative environmental factors is formed not only by radiation, but also by industrial pollution of the areas and by adverse and hazardous occupational factors.

Environmental Illness↗

[Sociomedical aspects of reduction of risk in the development of occupational diseases and industrial trauma in railway transport].

The paper outlines the main constituents of occupational risk in railway workers, which are based on the sanitary and biomedical criteria of injury safety. Sociomedical aspects of the incidence of railway occupational diseases and injuries are discussed. A list of major occupational factors and causes that determine a high occupational risk in railway workers is given.

[Ecological hazard of railway objects and human health status].

The paper deals with environment-induced changes in the health status of the population living in areas exposed to factors associated with the activities of railway objects and associates them with the data obtained from a comprehensive assessment of environmental pollution at the present level of technological process of an object under study, in this case it is a locomotive depot in one of the towns of the Moscow Region.
