The purpose of the work was to study and assessment of working conditions and morbidity of oil production and treatment operators operating in the climatic conditions of the Volgograd region, for the further development of preventive measures. Materials and methods. To study the factors of the working environment, traditional research methods in hygiene are used. To characterize the air environment at workplaces, data were used from protocols of special assessment of work¬places, measurements of industrial noise and vibration parameters, and parameters of artificial and natural lighting were car¬ried out. The state of health was assessed by indicators of pathological prevalence according to periodic medical examina¬tions. Results. The leading harmful factors in the working conditions of operators of dehydration and desalination plants and commodity operators are the heating microclimate and the severity of labor. Various modes of intermittent dynamic microcli-mate in the conditions of operators' work are revealed. Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and diseases of the circulatory system, due to working conditions, occupy the leading ranking places in the structure of the pathological prevalence of workers in the studied professional groups. Conclusion. The proven leading harmful factors at work in the climatic conditions of the Volgograd region and the most common diseases in the studied occupational groups justify priority preventive measures.
