For the modern economic conditions of the development of the state and business of many groups of information systems specialists, an assessment of the class of working conditions of employees under intense computer load is relevant. Modern working conditions form a high voltage of the visual analyzer with a decrease in the functional capabilities of the body of workers, which can lead to the development of computer visual syndrome (CVS), refractive errors (progression of myopia).

The study aims to assess the working conditions at the workplaces of specialists with an intensive computer load in order to justify effective measures for the prevention of occupational and production-related diseases.

Specialists have conducted hygienic studies of working conditions in workplaces equipped with computers. Indoors, they measured temperature, movement speed and relative humidity, illumination, levels of ultraviolet radiation intensity, and brightness of the monitor’s work surface. The first subgroup of respondents consisted of specialists with an average office qualification level (278 people), the second subgroup consisted of IT specialists (278 people). In total, for the period 2019–2024, the authors surveyed 556 workplaces. They have carried out hygienic measurements of factors of the production environment and the labor process in workplaces equipped with modern computers in accordance with generally accepted methods.

The authors have identified the features of the work of IT specialists associated with a significant visual load: the time of using a computer reached 6 hours with an 8-hour work shift and a 24-day work schedule. Based on the conducted research, experts have established differences in the hygienic parameters of the production environment in the traditional form of labor organization (in organizations of various forms of ownership in Kislovodsk) and when working in a «remote system», i. e. outside the workplace of the employer.

During the monitoring of 2019–2024, scientists have established an excess of the level of hygienic standards, which is associated with the peculiarities of the professional activity of employees when hiring on a remote system: in terms of the microclimate of industrial premises, the intensity of ultraviolet radiation, electromagnetic radiation, in terms of visual parameters of computer monitors (brightness, contrast, etc.).
