【 摘 要 】

Work in the Arctic and a circumpolar region is associated with great risks for workers. In these regions there are a cold, strong wind, darkness during the polar night, constant light in the summer during the polar day and other factors. As a rule, the majority of employees works in shifts. The company organizes a 24-hour work schedule in shifts. Adverse weather conditions are superimposed on working conditions on shifts and cause nervous tension for workers. Nervous breakdowns can cause an exacerbation of cardiovascular diseases. We assumed that during shift work in the circumpolar region workers develop Arterial Hypertension. During the year we have been examining 2 groups of employees of a mining enterprise: 697 employees who worked 15/15 days in shifts, including night shifts, and 768 employees who worked in 5/2 days at 8-hour working day. Statistical processing of the initial data showed there are statistically significant differences in systolic pressure between people having two various working conditions. These differences have not been found for diastolic pressure.
