Assessment of the functional state of agricultural workers in the course of work

Abstract

Ensuring safe working conditions and preserving the working capacity of employees of enterprises is an important task in any economic sector. To a large extent, socio-economic transformations have had a negative impact on the agricultural sector of production. The assessment of the physiological indicators of the functional state of workers in the course of labor activity of 43 different professions of 6 enterprises of the agricultural sector of the country was carried out. The study of the functional state of employees included the study of the state of the main physiological indicators of the body systems: the central nervous system, cardiovascular, neuromuscular, respiratory systems and the auditory analyzer in 2 stages “before” and “after” the end of the work shift. It is revealed that the adaptation processes of workers in the conditions of the labor process manifest themselves in the form of a decrease in physical performance and reserve capabilities of the body. The research results indicate the relevance of the development and implementation of a set of measures aimed at improving working conditions and restoring the functional reserves of the body of employees of the studied enterprises.
