ADAPTATION POTENTIAL OF DRIVERS OF THE LARGE DUMP TRUCKS IN MINING INDUSTRY

The presented results of the study established that there is a reliable relationship between the indicators reflecting the functional state of the drivers' organism, the shift duration, the work on a rotational basis and production factors, which places considerable requirements to the physiological mechanisms of adaptation. Also we developed recommendations aimed at managing risks in the field of labor protection, suggested ways of applying the results of the study to manage risks of the working environment and the work process.
