title: [Socio-medical aspects of injuries on the Baikal-Amur main line].
abstract: In the past 10 years, the total rate of traumatism on the Baikal-Amur main line has reduced by 15% at the expense of occupational traumatism, whereas the rate of non-occupational injuries is on the rise. Males (86%) are prevalent among the victims. The most all-bodied persons (aged 21-40 years) account for 85.1%. Friday and Saturday are the days marked by 33.5% of all injuries. The injury pattern is changing for the worse. The incidence of fractures of the skull and spine is on the increase. This leads to an increase in treatment length. The influence of some sociohygienic factors on the traumatism of workers (Mostostroy Trust, Tynda; Aluminum-Producing Plant, Shelekhov) is being comprehensively studied. The results will allow the administers to be proposed concrete recommendations to reduce traumatism rates.
