Abstract
Purpose: to identify the most effective models of industrial exoskeletons, determine the possibility of using industrial exoskeletons for work carried out on railway transport, identify their main disadvantages and propose options for improving their design. Methods: search and comparative analysis of information on new industrial exoskeletons used in various areas of life to determine the possibility and feasibility of their wider implementation in railway transport. Results: a review and assessment of industrial exoskeletons currently manufactured in the Russian Federation was carried out. Practical significance: It has been revealed that in most cases, harmful working conditions for workplaces at railway transport enterprises are caused by the factor of labor severity. The influence of this factor can be reduced by using modern personal protective equipment (PPE) for the musculoskeletal system of workers. It has been established that industrial exoskeletons are promising PPE for reducing physical activity. Recommendations on their choice for a number of railway transport professions are given
