Risk Reduction Possibilities Considering Equipment, Working Environment and Human Factor in Road Construction
Abstract
In modern road construction the work becomes even
more intensive, requires maximum attention and concentration;
therefore, practice and experience have been examined in the
organization and implementation of labour protection measures.
The objective is to study to what extent the road construction
workers are influenced by dust containing crystalline silica that
occurs in the process of asphalt concrete milling, based on
Latvian and foreign studies. Additionally, the analysis is
provided and the assessment of risk factors that occur during the
milling process: noise, vibration and ergonomic risks.
