Abstract
Today, the issue of the impact of hazardous production factors remains one of the most relevant at the global level, as their consequences may cause illnesses, injuries, and a negative impact on the environment. The construction worker protection measures developed earlier basically related to the impacts of electromagnetic fields indoors, whereas these were considered less harmful at outdoor construction sites (0,2µT). The nature of occurrence, the negative impact, the risk analysis, and the measures to reduce the impact of low-frequency electromagnetic fields on construction workers have been considered. The impact of a low-frequency electromagnetic field on a welder’s workplace in real conditions has been conducted with the VЕ-metr device. The electromagnetic field strength has been measured in each working area at a height of 1.5 m from the equipment maintenance area surface and at a distance of 0,5 m from the equipment. The measurements have been conducted at the highest operating voltage and the maximum operating current of the electric equipment. A dependence of various systems of the human body on the frequency and intensity of external electromagnetic radiation has been identified. The impact of a low-frequency electromagnetic field at 1 kV/m has negatively affected the workers’ health status. Comprehensive measures to prevent occupational illnesses of enterprise workers have been recommended.
