The article explores the economic context of ensuring safe work and the selection of personal protective equipment (PPE) based on the dust factor. Taking into account measurements of production factors at workplaces, using the example of ferroalloy production at the Taraz Metallurgical Plant (Republic of Kazakhstan), it has been determined that the levels of general industrial dust found at certain workplaces (crusher operator, raw material reception and crushing section supervisor, charger, miner, smelter, senior master of the sinter preparation department) significantly exceed the established norms of 4 mg/m3. As a result of the research, the working conditions of the main occupational groups in ferroalloy production are assessed as harmful and hazardous - Class 3, Degree I. Recommendations are provided for the implementation of a risk-oriented approach in ensuring personal protective equipment, as well as the application of a different mechanism for determining the insurance tariff rate based on the class of professional risk, determined by the type of economic activity. This takes into account a new integrated differentiated indicator - professional risk at each workplace.
