The sanitary and hygienic evaluation of the work conditions in sugar and amylosyrup production revealed such occupational hazards as intensive noise and vibration, inadequate lighting, contamination of the air with sugar and lime dust. Hazardous conditions result in functional changes in the workers, lead to the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and neural diseases, which are likely to be caused by the overheating, intensive sweating and disorders of water and mineral metabolism.
