The most progressive method of labor organization in the development of gas-condensate fields of the Polar region is considered, the impact of negative climatic and social factors on the person, as well as the human impact on the natural environment is assessed. Among the depressing factors of human life activity in the conditions of the North the sanitary and hygienic working conditions, which for the main professions in the development of mineral and fuel-energy resources belong to the category of average severity and heavy, are also analyzed. The necessity to reduce the number of workers working in the harsh conditions of the North is substantiated. The analysis of rotational and shift-expeditionary methods during the most intensive development of oil and gas resources of the North, used by geologists, oil and gas workers both in Western Siberia and in the North-West of Russia, allowed to identify the positive sides of these methods. A slightly modified, more perfect, in the opinion of the authors, method is offered, and its application in adverse climatic conditions is substantiated.
