Abstract
The article presents the basic concepts of the burden of occupational diseases, the modern concept of burden assessment is considered. The burden of occupational respiratory diseases (bronchial asthma, COPD, lung cancer, pneumoconiosis, hypersensitive pneumonitis) is analyzed. In connection with the significant socio-economic damage caused by occupational diseases of the respiratory system, attention is drawn to the need to improve the effectiveness of preventive measures in the field of respiratory health protection of employees of harmful (dangerous) industries.
