Abstract
Contemporary working conditions and assessment of occupational health risk for workers employed at flour-grinding productions
Highlights
Agricultural production is a key sphere in providing food security of any country; nowadays its development is a basic strategic task of the overall economic development in the Russian Federation
According to a small number of scientific works available on the subject that were written at the end of the last century, working conditions at flour-grinding productions are related to several adverse industrial factors and labor process factors; these factors exert negative influence on workers' health [2,3,4]
We examined the air in zones where workers employed at flour-grinding production had to breathe; our research was focused on dust contents in the air in these zones and it revealed that a type of dust and its quantitative contents depended on a particular stage in the technological process of grain processing (Table 1)
Summary
It is shown that workers who are employed at flour-grinding production and perform their work tasks at all the stages of technological cycle on grain processing are exposed to a set of adverse industrial factors related to their labor process. These factors create hazardous working conditions which are ranked as having the 2nd and the 3rd hazard degree (3.2 and 3.3 categories) as per the Guide Р 2.2.2006-05. Our research goal was to give a hygienic characteristics of working conditions and to assess occupational risks for the health of workers employed at contemporary flourgrinding production
