ASSESSMENT OF OCCUPATIONAL RISKS AND STRATEGIES FOR THEIR REDUCTION AT THE STYRENE PRODUCTION SITE

The article assesses occupational risks in the workplace of a polymerization operator working at a styrene production site using a matrix method based on a point system. Labor functions and basic technological processes at this workplace are described. The advantages of the matrix method are named. In the course of the work, the features of compiling a risk classification matrix and risk calculation were studied. An assessment of risk levels has been carried out and basic management measures have been proposed. It is expected that as a result of the implementation of the proposed measures, the occurrence of hazards in this area will be minimized.
