The morbidity of occupational radiculopathy among miners of coal industry of West Donbass within ten years period (1998—2007) has been analyzed. The significant increase (more than 5 times) of this pathology was defined. Main tendencies in the illness severity dynamics are considered. It is determined that miners of main occupations, engaged exactly in underground mining and in opening mine driving, are subjected to the higher risk of the disease. Among occupational hazards, causing radiculopathy development, heavy physical labour and unfavorable microclimatic conditions are prevailing — 81,7 %.

Key words: miners, coal industry, radiculopathy, morbidity
