Management of Individual Occupational Risk Using Health-Saving Technologies

The aim of the research was to substantiate the feasibility of using health-saving technologies in the management of individual occupational risk and to develop a scientifically based set of industrial gymnastics for knowledge workers.Research methods. Three groups of employees were formed to conduct research. The estimation of mental performance index was done with a correction task according to V. Ya. Anfimov’s Table. The study of the fatigue of intellectual workers was conducted by testing for a simple visual-motor reaction using the computer program “Reaction Time Test”. The calculation of individual occupational risk was carried out according to the methodology of N.F. Izmerova, L.V. Prokopenko, N.I. Simonova, et al., Klin Institute of safety and working conditions.Results. The study of working performance showed that doing introductory gymnastics contributes to improving working performance by the end of the warming up period and maintaining it at a good level before a break for lunch. Doing industrial gymnastics with any set of exercises an hour and a half after the lunch break provides a higher working performance until the end of the working day.The study of employee fatigue confirms that doing introductory gymnastics in the working time does not significantly affect the fatigue of employees by noon. Conducting industrial gymnastics according to the developed complex an hour and a half after the lunch break provides significantly less fatigue (p < 0.05) until the end of the working day. It takes 30 minutes of working time to do a set of industrial gymnastics.Conclusion. Thus, a scientifically based set of industrial gymnastics for office employees has been developed to prevent occupational and work-related diseases. The proposed set of exercises is effective and a set of exercises can be recommended for use. The indicator of the employee’s health status is the only component, influencing which it is possible to manage individual occupational risk.
