Abstract. Aim of research. To assess the risk of work-related diseases (WRD) in workers of the leading enterprises of the mining complex of the Murmansk region (the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation) and the factors affecting its level. Materials and methods. For the analysis, the data on medical examinations 2005, 2010 and 2015 of the main professions of Apatit JSC 1975 people, Kola Mining and metallurgical company JSC — 2654 people were used. Demographic processes are estimated by the dynamics of age distribution and changes in the number of workers. Results. Trends in the dynamics of the prevalence of diseases are established, DOCs are determined, classes and individual forms of WRDes are identified, indicators characterizing the dynamics of demographic processes in the workplace are calculated. Discussion. Selected harmful factors of the working environment, promoting the development of WRD, according to the changes of the degree of work relation (DWR) diseases changes in exposure to harmful factors and trends of demographic processes in the workplace. Conclusion. The high rate of decline in morbidity in 2005-2015 for classes ICD 10 including occupational diseases does not correspond to the level of improvement in working conditions and is mainly determined by the optimization of the number due to the reduction of workers with the presence of chronic diseases included in the structure of occupational diseases (OD).
