Abstract: in this paper, the influence of psychoemotional status on the electrical resistance of the human body is examined, which allows us to evaluate the suitability of the employee during preliminary medical examinations for professions related to the maintenance of electrical installations with different power and voltage levels.
The relevance of the diagnosis of psychoemotional states for professions related to the electric power industry is due to the fact that the effectiveness of any human activity is directly related to the psychoemotional state of the employee, the deviation of which from the average values in one direction or another is always associated with a decrease in the effectiveness of the activity and functioning of the body, which, in turn, may result in work injuries.
Keywords: maintenance of electrical installations, electrical injuries, resistance of the human body, psychoemotional state, functional asymmetry of the cerebral hemispheres
