Special assessment of working conditions for winter maintenance of roads and sideways

When processing roads and sidewalks, safety and labor protection requirements are often violated. There is a constant excess of the concentration of anti-icing reagents (AGR), the components of which at maximum concentrations adversely affect the human body. In particular, blood parameters, as well as the most important organs, such as the liver and kidneys, are affected. The concentration of AGR per unit area determines the intensity of the harmful effects of substances on the human body. The penetration of harmful substances into the human body occurs by airborne droplets or skin-resorptive action and depends on the method of distribution of AGR and the level of mechanization. The probabilities of the occurrence of a dangerous event when working with AGR, its severity and risk level are determined. Recommendations are given for employees involved in the treatment of residential and public areas with anti-icing materials.
