RISK ASSESSMENT OF ORGAN OF VISION’S NEOPLASMS IN WORKERS EMPLOYED IN THE MODERN OIL INDUSTRY

Authors:

Abstract:

1,852 employees from 13 enterprises of the oil and gas production profile of the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan participated in the study. Clinical examination at the workplace was carried out in 2018–2019 using a mobile clinic operating at the National Center of Ophthalmology named after Acad. Zarifa Aliyeva. The severity of labor was assessed in three groups: class A – optimal, class B – acceptable and class C – harmful working conditions. Of all respondents, 46.5% noted the presence of direct contact with harmful substances during work, 30.5 % – the presence of indirect contact. Pseudo – (49.2 %) and neoplasms (61.6 %) were detected in 33.4 % of workers exposed to exposure. The RR assessment showed that the probability of the development of pseudo – and neoplasms of the visual organ among the studied contingent exposed to exposure is higher than in non–exposed 2.7 (CI=1.95–3.86; χ2=35.87, p<0.05) and 3.4 (CI=2.49–4.62; χ2=65.75, p<0.05) times, respectively. The statistically–based data obtained will allow us to develop proposals to reduce the risk of developing the studied nosologies among workers employed in the modern oil industry.
