Relevance. The extreme conditions of activity of the personnel of operational units of the EMERCOM of Russia, carrying out duty for urgent mitigation of consequences of accidents, disasters, fires and other emergency situations (ES), likely cause excessive consumption of the body functional reserves, occurrence of erroneous actions, injuries and even death. Intention is to analyze rates of occupational injuries in personnel of operational units of the EMERCOM of Russia for 10 years (2012–2021). Methodology. Indicators of injuries among personnel (military personnel, employees with special ranks, and other employees) of operational units of the EMERCOM of Russia in 2012–2015 were obtained from the bank of statistical data on morbidity, injuries, disability and death of personnel of the EMERCOM of Russia when performing official duties; in 2016– 2021 – from report forms for the EMERCOM of Russia. Injuries were correlated with activities of the personnel: liquidation of the consequences of emergencies, training, sports and daily activities. Circumstances of injury were grouped by causes as follows: technical, organizational, psycho-physiological and dangerous factors of emergency situations. Rates of occupational injuries were calculated per 10 thousand (×10 –4 ) personnel. This represented risks of personnel of operational units of the EMERCOM of Russia to be injured on the duty. Arithmetic means and their errors (M ± m) are indicated. Results and Discussion. During 2012–2021, 2471 injuries on the duty were reported among the personnel of operational units of the EMERCOM of Russia with rates of occupational injuries (11.57 ± 0.68) • 10 –4 ; for male Russian workers over 9 years (2012–2020) these rates were statistically significantly (p < 0.01) higher (16.89 ± 1.14) • 10 –4 . Rates of occupational injuries decrease over time. The congruence of injury rates for 9 years is strong, positive and statistically significant (r = 0.816; p < 0.01), which may indicate influence of similar (unidirectional) factors in the development of injuries. In the general group of personnel, technical causes accounted for 2.6% of injuries with an injury rate of (0.30 ± 0.08) • 10 –4 ; organizational ones, 13.9 % and (1.60 ± 0.14) • 10 –4 , psychophysiological ones, 60.5 % and (6.98 ± 0.47) • 10 –4 ; dangerous factors of emergency situations, 23 % and (2.68 ± 0.30) • 10 –4 , respectively. Rates of occupational injuries among the EMERCOM of Russia personnel amounted to (4.46 ± 0.38) • 10 –4 ; (2.13 ± 0.18) • 10 –4 ; (4.98 ± 0.46) • 10 –4 during operational activities, training and sports, and daily activities, respectively. Proportions and rates of injuries were 66.7% and (11.45 ± 0.83) • 10 –4 ; 3.7 % and (6.37 ± 0.74) • 10 –4 ; 14.2 % and (12.63 ± 1.47)• 10 –4 ; 17.2 % and (12.88 ± 1.01) • 10 –4 , respectively, among the operational, prevention-oriented, technical and administrative personnel of the EMERCOM of Russia. Occupational injuries among the personnel of operational units of the EMERCOM of Russia amounted to (58.08 ± 7.24) • 10 –4 in the rescue military units; (33.16 ± 4.66) • 10 –4 in search and rescue and emergency rescue units; (23.90 ± 9.14) • 10 –4 in Militarized mine rescue units; (9.19 ± 0.54) • 10 –4 in Federal Fire Service; and (4.46 ± 1.42) • 10 –4 in State Inspection for small boats. Conclusion. Occupational injuries can become manageable only when all injuries are taken into account and causes and consequences of each injury case are analyzed with participation of labor protection specialists, firefighters, rescuers, engineers, doctors and managers.
