Abstract:
When working at high-voltage electrical facilities (110 - 750 kV), electrical workers fall under the influence of the electromagnetic field of the industrial frequency. The purpose of the article is to evaluate the levels of hazardous effects and develop approaches to the creation of individual protective clothing. The current limitations to the parameters of the
electromagnetic field in international and Ukrainian regulatory documents were analyzed.
The proposed concept envisages the implementation of the certain stages of the research:
analysis of working conditions and monitoring of dangerous factors; assessment of the risks
of occupational diseases; properties of the existing protective clothing: development of requirements for the material and construction of conductive clothing. The design of the new
conductive clothing made of composite textile material is proposed, which is used in combination with head, hand and foot protection.
