Abstract: Timely detection of diseases with subsequent restriction to certain types of work, for those who work in production for decades, contributes to the preservation of health of the population of the country, but doctors pay little attention to the subjective assessment of health by workers themselves, while they work at industrial sites. This article presents a comparative analysis of workers' self-assessment of their quality of life and physicians' conclusions about their ability to work as miners. Workers between the ages of 40 and 59 were divided into groups: I, workers not yet receiving an insurance pension; and II, workers already receiving an insurance pension. Studies have shown that among workers in the first group the number of miners and those who provide their uninterrupted work is almost equal (24,2% and 22,7%); in the second group there are twice as many workers engaged in auxiliary work (17.7% and 35,4%). After reaching the age of 50, in both groups, 11,8% of cases revealed medical contraindications to work in underground conditions: in group I, 1.6 times more often in workers of the main professions, in group II – 4.1 times more often in workers of auxiliary professions. There is a correlation of medium strength between the results of the survey of the quality of life of employees and the results of in-depth medical examination.
Keywords: mining enterprises, expertise of professional suitability, SF-36 questionnaire, self-assessment of the quality of life, highly skilled miners
