SSC Latvijas Dzelzceļš is a Latvian state-owned company that provides railway transport and infrastructure. Track fitters are subject to various risk factors, because they work with a variety of tools and machines, and their working conditions always include increased risks for workers working in dangerous areas. In addition, work responsibilities include physiological loads using a variety of instruments, equipment, chemicals and mixtures. Employees must also be able to cope with work intensity, increased responsibility, concentration and attention that can cause stress. In order to ensure the safety of the working environment, all working conditions should be thoroughly examined and all responsible representatives should be informed of the description of the position, the responsibilities of the work and the nature of the risk factors. The employer must ensure that workers are adequately instructed and trained on safety measures, equipment and the correct use of tools. Labour protection professionals should be aware of each work process and take the necessary safety measures to reduce the risks to workers. In addition, all staff must be aware of the potential risks and comply with safety rules to prevent possible accidents. The purpose of the authors' study was to create measures that will reduce the risks of the working environment in the work of railway track fitters of the SSC “Latvijas Dzelzceļš”. The authors offer the company a complex of measures: to buy machines or robots that could help track fitters do grass mowing jobs, to buy orthotic belts that would provide back support and could help reduce the number of aches and occupational illnesses among track fitters, to introduce a health training program to educate employees about a person's spinal structure, protection and illnesses that can result from misposture and back load while working, to buy health insurance for employees. It is also recommended that the LDz company purchase a new locomotive warning system available to each track worker to prevent accidents involving the human factor.
