Methodological approaches to the study of the causes of temporary disability at employees

Introduction. Temporary disability (TD) is one of the main indicators characterizing the state of health of workers. The legislation in force in the Russian Federation on the protection of personal data has significantly limited the possibilities of analyzing the incidence of temporary disability at the enterprise level. The study aims to evaluate the possibility of using the results of the analysis of temporary disability according to enterprise data in the risk management system for the health of workers. Materials and methods. The scientists used data from four enterprises of different types of economic activity with the number of employees from 1,647 to 5,882 people to assess the possibility of analyzing the causes of temporary disability, they also received information about all cases of temporary disability in the form of depersonalized personal data. For statistical data processing, specialists used Microsoft Excel 2013. Results. The company's own accounting data allows to consolidate and analyze personalized data on the causes of temporary disability of employees. The level of temporary disability can be determined considering the gender and age structure of employees, length of service, working conditions, profession and other characteristics of the workers. Limitations. The study is limited by the lack of information on diseases that cause temporary disability. Conclusion. At the present stage, it is necessary to develop new methodological approaches for analyzing the causes of temporary disability at the enterprise level, introducing them into systems of social and hygienic monitoring and risk management for the health of workers.
