Abstract
Progressive changes in mineral processing technology inevitably affect the nature and intensity of industrial and occupational factors, as well as the health of workers employed in these industries. For effective management of occupational safety systems at industrial enterprises, comprehensive data on the analysis and assessment of occupational risks are required. The technological processes of mineral processing are accompanied by a complex of harmful workplace factors such as dust, noise intensity, vibration, and unfavorable microclimate conditions. However, the level of attention given to protecting the health of workers and employees engaged in mineral processing remains insufficient. By applying the methodology for assessing occupational hazards, it is possible to determine the safe working period under the influence of adverse industrial factors. Analyzing the exposure and levels of production- technological factors and labor process indicators makes it possible to determine the maximum duration of safe work. The purpose of this study is to assess the level of occupational risk for workers in the ore beneficiation industry. Through the analysis of occupational hazards at workplaces, it becomes possible to determine the degree, probability, and consequences of professional risks by type of occupation. Effective measures to reduce the identified level of occupational risk are also considered
