Research of the thermal factor of working conditions in the foundry production

Abstract

The characteristic of infrared radiation, their effect on the human body is provided. The outcomes of the study and calculations of the intensity of infrared (thermal) radiation on workers in foundries are presented. The necessity of compliance with the necessary rules of labor protection, the development of a complex of sanitary, hygienic, therapeutic, and preventive measures to optimize working conditions, the prevention of occupational illnesses is proved. Measures to prevent the unfavorable effects of infrared radiation on workers in foundries have been determined.
