Abstract

Underground working conditions of uranium mining production are characterized by the predominance of industrial noise, determining a high occupational risk of hearing loss.

Objective: To perform the analysis of occupational risk of hearing loss in uranium mining workers.

Material and methods: The indicators of working conditions of uranium mining production of the «Rosatom» state corporation and tonal threshold audiometry data of 113 staff members as a part of preventive medical examination were used; a priori and a posteriori occupational risks of hearing loss were determined.

Results: The highest levels of industrial noise and the highest noise dose have been noted in stope miners (SMs), that determines a priori risk of their hearing function impairment. The mean length of service in persons of SMs group is over 25 years. Indicators of a posteriori risk of occupational sensorineural hearing loss are predominant in SMs with long service period (25 years and more) - 50%.

Conclusion: The highest occupational risk of hearing loss is identified in stope miners, that means the need to optimize preventive measures to preserve their hearing function.

[铀矿工人职业性听力损失的风险]。

铀矿生产的地下工作条件的特点是工业噪声占主导地位，决定了高职业风险的听力损失。目的：对铀矿工人听力损失的职业风险进行分析。材料和方法：采用了俄罗斯国家原子能公司（Rosatom）铀矿开采生产工作条件指标和113名工作人员的音调阈值测听数据，作为预防性体检的一部分；确定了听力损失的先验和后验职业风险。结果：采场工人（SMs）的工业噪声水平和噪声剂量最高，这决定了他们听力功能障碍的先验风险。SMs群组人员的平均服务年限超过25年。职业性感音神经性听力损失的后验风险指标在服务年限较长的SMs（25年及以上）中占主导地位- 50%。结论：采场矿工是听力损失风险最高的职业，需要优化预防措施，保护采场矿工的听力。
