The state of male reproductive health plays an important role in demographic indicators, in particular, in population reproduction. This dictates the need to increase the volume of preventive measures, which requires early detection of reproductive disorders due to the impact of environmental factors, including occupational ones, that have a harmful effect on men.

The aim of the study is to develop a prevention program aimed at preserving and improving the reproductive health of employees engaged in harmful working conditions.

Materials and methods. To predict the quality of health of a future individual, it is necessary to consider many risk factors that can participate in the development of human pathology. Methods for studying reproductive health disorders in men include both conventional, classical methods of examining men by urologists, andrologists, and expert ones, which allow us to find out the role of harmful factors in the development of reproductive disorders of professional etiology by specialists in occupational medicine. The implementation of a reproductive health program requires monitoring the progress of the actions taken and evaluating their effectiveness.

Results. Implementing a reproductive health program requires monitoring the progress of actions and evaluating their effectiveness.

Conclusions. The ability to assess the risk of damage to reproductive health and the health of the offspring makes it possible to manage this risk, to prevent and reduce the levels of occupationally determined morbidity and morbidity associated with exposure to harmful factors.
