Abstract

Analizom učestalosti prijava profesionalnih bolesti u Primorsko-goranskoj županiji u usporedbi s Istarskom županijom, željelo se neizravno prepoznati odnos prema zaštiti zdravlja i sigurnosti na radnom mjestu u tvrtkama navedenih županija, u svrhu poduzimanja odgovarajućih javnozdravstvenih mjera.
Cilj: Utvrditi značajke i učestalosti profesionalnih bolesti u Primorsko-goranskoj i Istarskoj županiji.
Materijali i metode: Podatci o profesionalnim bolestima za Primorsko-goransku i Istarsku županiju uzeti su iz Registra za profesionalne bolesti, koji se vodi u Hrvatskom zavodu za zaštitu zdravlja i sigurnost na radu, za razdoblje od 2006.-2013. godine.
Rezultati: U obje županije broj prijavljenih profesionalnih bolesti je manji od očekivanog. Prevladavaju bolesti dišnog sustava i mezoteliom seroznih membrana uzrokovane azbestom. Razlog tome je što većina oboljelih radi u prerađivačkoj industriji te djelatnostima u kojima je bila prisutna izloženost azbestu, poglavito brodogradnji.
Zaključak: Prema granama privredne djelatnosti, Primorsko-goranska i Istarska županija se ne razlikuju. U prijavama profesionalnih bolesti ima razlike u vrsti prijavljenih profesionalnih bolesti. Radom na unaprjeđenju edukacije i podizanja svijesti na svim razinama, kako radne tako i opće populacije o profesionalnim opasnostima i štetnostima te mogućnosti i načinu nastanka profesionalnih bolesti, može se utjecati na poboljšanje uvjeta rada i radnog okoliša.
