Assessment of the effect of fibrogenic aerosols on employees working at non-stationary workplaces on railway transport

Abstract

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the work process of train compilers, electricians and electricians for signaling, centralization, and blocking devices, electricians of contact networks, and railway electricians working in non-stationary workplaces on railway transport, and also discusses occupational diseases arising from the influence of factors exceeding the permissible norms of the production environment in work zones (buildings, open areas, and sections) carrying out the work process during the work shift (day) on their health and functional state. A method for determining the probability of developing occupational diseases that may arise as a result of exposure to fibrogenic aerosols on employees working in non-stationary workplaces on railway transport is presented. The proposed method allows determining and predicting the probability of developing occupational diseases caused by exposure to fibrogenic aerosols in numerical values.
