Assessment of the thermal load of the production environment when working in open areas in the summer period (on the example of oil production enterprises)

The article presents the substantiation of the organizational, ethical and methodological approaches to assessing the heat load when performing work in an open area in the summer period of the year in a subarid climate. The working conditions of operators engaged in oil production and treatment in the Volgograd region are considered. The leading harmful factors of the working environment are the severity of labor and the heating microclimate. Two options for measuring the physical parameters of the air in the open area of oil production and treatment enterprises have been carried out. The first option is the calculation and assessment of the TNC-index in the control rooms and in the open area at noon. The second option involved measuring the physical parameters of the air in an open area every two hours during a work shift.
