ABSTRACT
The article contains data on the results of the on-the-spot studies of coal mine controllers' labour conditions and relating hygienic factors. It was established that the work at the dispatcher's control point in coal mines was considerably affected by unfavourable factors (low degree of illumination, constructional shortcomings of the control point and seat) with concomitant neuropsychic stress conditions. Revealed were specific functional shifts in CVS and CNS, neuromuscular disorders and the analyzers' malfunctioning. A set of measures was proposed for labour conditions improvement, ergometric perfection of the working place and reduction of neuroemotional tension.
