The Murmansk Region is among the largest and most developed areas in the Northern European Russia with the commercial and economic life based on natural resources. The region belongs in the unique territorial system of the northern countries bordering the Barents Sea, is a Russian member in the Barents Region and a part of the land area border of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation together with another eight federal entities. In the structure of the regional industry, the maximum share is contributed by the mining industries where the occupational hazard and traumatism remains yet high. The regional specifi city of the occupational traumatism at the largest mining companies has been revealed (in terms of the Kola Mining and Metallurgical Company and Apatit JSC) by the comparative analyses of the available statistics and the data of the earlier publications of the present authors in the area of occupational safety. The current numerous procedures to assess occupational traumatism not to the fullest extent account for the infl uence exerted by various factors on the occupational hazard risk in the mining industry. This article shows that the process of getting injury is of the probabilistic–stochastic nature and always has two components: regularity (trend) and deviation (variation). For this reason, the specifi city factors revealed to characterize the change in the two components of traumatism, including visual study based on the presented procedure for the prediction of accident rate among mine personnel, could be the foundation for planning preventive measures by labor protection departments at regional mining companies. Moreover, the presented methodology to characterize the level of disablement among the able-bodied population of the region should be taken into account in the mid-term strategies of social and economic development in the Murmansk Region, including adjustment of level of social and economic assistance of socially vulnerable groups.
