When you are in a light and cozy office, the greatest health hazard is spilling coffee or tea on yourself. But there are professions that carry a high risk of injury. Below we will give top 5 most traumatic industries in Russia... It is compiled on the basis of data from the Social Insurance Fund. The list will allow employers to qualify for discounts when making contributions for compulsory employee insurance against accidents and prof. diseases.
5. Extraction of coal by underground method
The number of insured events per thousand employees - 23.45
Coal is one of the most demanded minerals on Earth. At a coal seam depth of up to 100 meters, the development is carried out in an open way. When coal seams are buried at great depths, coal is mined by a closed, underground method. High quality coal is obtained "at the exit", besides, underground mining brings less damage to the environment. But this is the most dangerous method of mining (in particular, due to the collapse of structures and a banal violation of safety rules, which are "written in blood"). And it also requires large financial investments.
4. Production of cryolite and aluminum fluoride
The number of insured events per thousand employees - 25.62
Deposits of a mineral called "cryolite" are very rare. It is required for the production of aluminum by an electrolytic process and is also used in the production of glass, hydrofluoric acid and enamels. Due to the rarity of cryolite, most of it is obtained synthetically. Inhaling, applying it to the eyes and skin, and even more so swallowing cryolite is life-threatening.
Aluminum fluoride is toxic and dust or aerosols, if ingested, can cause serious poisoning.
3. Mining and beneficiation of bauxite and nepheline-apatite ores
There are 30.92 insured events per thousand employees
Bauxite is the most important aluminum ore. On it, with rare exceptions, the world aluminum industry is based. Usually they are mined by open, and less often by underground methods.
After bauxite, nepheline-apatite ores are in second place in industrial importance. They also belong to the type of aluminum raw material. Explosions are not uncommon at bauxite and nepheline-apatite ore deposits, including due to safety violations.
2. Extraction of brown coal by underground method
The number of insured events per thousand employees - 35.11
Brown coal is less valuable than hard coal, but there are more deposits of it and they lie closer to the surface. It is a sedimentary rock that was formed during the decomposition of ancient horsetails, lycopods, tree ferns, horsetails and lymphoids, and the first gymnosperms. The largest Russian brown coal deposit is the Soltonskoye deposit.According to Rostekhnadzor, the most common causes of accidents during underground work are malfunctioning of machinery and machines, methane explosion and rock mass collapse.
1. Extraction, beneficiation and agglomeration of coal
The number of insured events per thousand employees - 40.09
Tops the rating of traumatic industries. Specialists from this field of activity risk their health and life more often than others, and it is still very far from the moment when machines completely replace human labor in mines.
And the safest, according to the FSS, are 276 industries, including breeding earthworms, laboratory and domestic animals, growing nuts, fruits and tobacco.
