It is shown that the cause of occupational morbidity of welders is the unsatisfactory condition of ambient air in welding workshops. It is noted that the inefficient protection of respiratory organs of welders is caused by an incorrect choice and utilization of the means for protection of respiratory organs. Ways are outlined for formation of the information system to make an optimal decision on selection of the ventilation and individual protection means to match the actual labour conditions.
Keywords: welding, labour protection, occupational morbidity, harmful substances, ventilation systems, individual protection means for respiratory organs, information systems
