Working conditions at the workplaces of core sections of foundries

Abstract

The working conditions at the workplaces of foundry workers when performing work on core sites, production factors determining them are considered. The results of studies of the parameters of the working conditions of the considered professions of foundry workers in comparison with the standard values are presented. It is established that in a comprehensive assessment of the working conditions of workers in the core sections of foundries, it is necessary to take into account the duration of stay at the working equipment, the equipment and hand tools used, the type of alloy being smelted (steel, cast iron, non‑ferrous metals) and the nature of the production.
