The problem of labor protection and monitoring of emergencies in the conditions of the spread of graphite dust

Abstract

The article deals with the issues of labor protection and monitoring of emergencies in workshops for the production of carbon electrodes. A numerical study of the problem of the spread of coal dust in the production room is carried out. The possible height of dust rise and the distance of movement of the most probable particle size are estimated. The data obtained indicate that in order to prevent coal dust from sticking to clothing and spreading it around the room, it is necessary to provide for labor protection measures. Based on the results obtained, recommendations can be formulated to improve safe working conditions in production associated with the formation of graphite dust: first of all, attention should be directed to the removal of a loose dust layer.
