Abstract
The analysis of psychosocial risk factors characteristic of the coal industry, given in the article, is aimed at identifying the most common psychosocial risk factors among workers in the metallurgical and coal industry. In order to identify psychosocial risk factors, a questionnaire was developed for employees of a coal mining enterprise. The results of a study of the opinions of employees of coal mining enterprises of various age categories, work experience in the industry, as well as different genders and roles in the company are presented. Based on the data obtained, a number of characteristic psychosocial risk factors for coal industry workers were established, recommendations were made to improve working conditions.
