Abstract

Approaches to assessing professional risk are considered for the example of a EuroChem facility. Deficiencies in the program for professional risk assessment outlined in Russian Handbook 2.2.1766–03 are analyzed. This program takes no account of the worker’s age, experience, and overall health. Likewise, statistical data regarding workplace injuries and morbidity are ignored. At the same time, the method of calculating the individual professional risk proposed by the Klin Institute of Labor Protection and Working Conditions permits calculation of the risk for 66 workers and determination of an integral index of professional risk within the organization. Comparison of risk assessments by method in Handbook 2.2.1766–03 and the Klin method shows that the class of working conditions affects the individual professional risk but is not the determining factor.
