The article highlights regularities of risk formation of occupational diseases in the population, working in mining, metallurgi¬cal and machine building industries, by selected types of occupational pathology. The calculations have been made using a method, developed on the base of ILO and WHO principles, concerning studies of the effect of unfavorable factors on work¬ers’ health, caused by exposure to harmful and dangerous factors of the work environment. Also, approaches to the assessment of occupational risk have been used, developed by collaborators of Scientific Research Institute of Occupational Health of RAMS. It has been found that total occupational risks for workers of the studied branches of industries are rather high.

Key words: occupational morbidity, occupational risks, mining, metallurgical and machine building industries
