Abstract
An assessment of both the a priori and a posteriori components of professional risk for thermal insulation workers inhaling air contaminated with aerosols of artificial mineral fibers when performing work on thermal insulation of equipment and pipelines was performed. It was determined that the a priori level of professional risk for thermal insulation workers when performing thermal insulation work for the dust factor varies from medium (significant) to high (hard to bear) risk. The results of studies on the posteriori component of professional risk showed consistently high levels for the profession under study, which necessitates the development of modern effective measures to minimize the impact of fine dust of mineral and glass wool on the health of workers when performing thermal insulation work in order to reduce the risk of developing work-related and occupational diseases.
