[Hygienic optimization of the use of chemical protective means on railway transport]. / Gigienicheskaia optimizatsiia ispol'zovaniia sredstv individual'noi zashchity na zheleznodorozhnom transporte.

The paper presents data characterizing the working conditions of railway workers. It shows that there is the greatest levels of noise and vibration, the burden and intensity of work. The worst working conditions are noted in energy supply, car, locomotive services and track facilities. The working conditions determine a significant industrial risk of railway workers since the prevention of health abnormalities by using chemical protective means is a topical problem. The priority lines of hygienic rationale for optimization the choice and use of chemical protective means for workers exposed to occupational hazards are determined.
