Abstract: The article analyzes the results of a complex study on psychological prevention of threat to the health of the subjects in educational space. The main professional threats to the pedagogical employees' health in the educational organizations are analyzed by the parameter of information and communications in the structure of educational organization. It's emphasized that long-lasting discomfort in professional communications determines the exhaustion of organism’s resources and changes of central coordinative mechanisms that lead to the restriction of the organism's adaptive abilities and after becomes the precondition for the development of different illnesses. A number of factors, including signs of communicative discomfort, can be treated as potentially possible threats for pedagogue's occupational health, are identified: criticism, especially unjustified, communicated in rude, humbling or mocking manner; mobbing (infliction of emotional distress at the working-place); negative forms of professional communications (problematic relationships with colleagues, parents, students, barriers in professional communication, unjustified aggression among collective members, internal group favouritism, gossiping etc.); conflicts in professional environment; authoritarianism (lack of tact and temperance, excessive self-confidence, willingness to dominate etc.); intensive everyday stress; “inadequate” management style; envy among the collective members.
