Abstract: In modern conditions, improving the working conditions of the working population is a priority area of activity in the field of occupational safety and health. The purpose of the research was to study the gender characteristics of occupational pathology in the Republic of Bashkortostan in 2000-2019. Materials and methods. The analysis of the structure of occupational pathology and statistical processing using the Microsoft Excel application software package was carried out. Results. The performed study demonstrated the presence of pronounced features of working conditions and occupational pathology in men and women. Men are more likely than women to work in harmful working conditions with exposed to noise factor, general and local vibration, increased severity and intensity of the labor process, and their combined effect. Conclusion. Attention should be paid to the development of sanitary and hygienic measures aimed at eliminating the causes of occupational pathology or its risk.

The retrospective analysis of the morbidity rate, the loss of the workability in health workers of the Republic of Bashkortostan with occupational diseases over the period from 1960 to 2015 was executed. The distribution of absolute and relative indices of the occupational morbidity rate by years is presented. The factors of the production environment and the labor process contributing to the development of occupational diseases are singled out. The leading place in the structure of the primary morbidity is held by occupational diseases associated with chemical (toxic-allergic) factors, the second - with diseases associated with the impact of physical factors; the third - diseases from the influence of biological factors.

There was executed the analysis of morbidity and disability rate in workers with occupational diseases (poisoning) of the Republic ofBashkortostan for the periodfrom 2010 to 2014. There is reflected the sectoral distribution of the relative indices of the occupational morbidity. There are selected factors of labor and the labor process, promoting occupational diseases (OD). The leading place in the structure of primary morbidity is held by OD related to physical overload and functional overexertion of certain organs and systems; the second - by diseases associated with exposure to physicalfactors; the third - by diseases from exposure to workplace allergens. This is followed by illness (intoxications) caused by exposure to chemical factors, industrial aerosols. The share of OD from exposure to biological agents and professional tumors in total accounts for about 2.0% of all cases of OD revealed for the first time.

The paper reviews analysis and structure of occupational morbidity in the Republic of Bashkortostan over the year 2008. Occupational morbidity indicators according to administration sites and economic sectors have been analyzed. We have developed the documents regarding safety and prophylaxis of occupational morbidity in the Republic.
