Formulation of the problem. At companies belonging to the pharmaceutical industry, there is an urgent need to comply with all standards of occupational safety and health. Particular attention should be paid to the influence of psychophysiological factors: labour intensity and forced working posture, as well as the monotony of work and the performance of the same type of work. The job of the dispenser requires long-term direct monitoring of the equipment, readiness for quick action. The term "operational rest" defined this functional state. And a factor of the monotony of expectation characterized too. It is no secret that the performance of monotonous work is characterized by feelings of fatigue, apathy, drowsiness and numbness; deterioration of heart rate, lower blood pressure, slowing of the alpha rhythm, decreased mus-cle tone; fluctuations in productivity, a general decrease in efficiency, reduced ability to respond to signals from environ-mental stimuli. When performing the functional duties of the dispenser, there is a lengthy performance of simple opera-tions. The content is reduced to a uniform visual control over the quality of products, as well as to work associated with long-term passive observation and limited impact on the brain of various production signals and stimuli.Purpose. The purpose of the study is to analyze the card of the working conditions of dispensers and drug com-pilers. This study aims to develop measures to eliminate the risk of monotony.Results. Therefore, the consequences of such monotonous work can be rapid development of fatigue due to the localization of muscular and nervous loads; sedentary lifestyle; development of neuroses; dissatisfaction with work and reduced creative activity of the employee. Individual psychological characteristics of the employee have an impact on the performance of monotonous work, as well as on the development of mental states. Therefore, in the professional selection, it is necessary to take into account: the monotony of the employee. Everyone knows that people with higher mental abilities have low monostic resistance. Highly skilled workers can maintain capacity, is the ability to perform a particular type of work without erroneous actions, even under heavy and prolonged loads. A low-skilled worker cannot detect changes in monotony and falls victim to indifference.Scientific novelty. Therefore, we recommend that companies implement some measures to reduce the monotony of work, namely: setting enough speed and mode of operation (in the first 30 minutes after starting work: set the pace of the conveyor 5 - 10% below average); rationalization of work and rest regimes (recommend short breaks) (5 - 10 minutes every 2-3 hours); aestheticization of the production environment (improve the lighting of the work area); introduction of some measures on material and moral stimulation; involvement of workers in the management and solution of production problems; improve socio-psychological climate; use the opportunity to play sports and physical culture.
