The unfavourable labour conditions in Georgia with the dry subtropical climate, exerts influence on health status of workers of above mentioned production. By the data of the morbidity rate with temporal disability for the period 2000-2004 the average level of morbidity sick rate in the main group 5-7 times exceeds the analogous data of the control group. In the morbidity structure so called meteotropic diseases are leading, as well as diseases of cordial-vascular system are frequent (53,5% of all cases and 41,7% of all disability days). The morbidity structure in the study and the control groups was statistically different (X2=16,92/22,63). The conducted complex investigation has underlined elaboration of complex sanitary measurements.
