According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU - OSHA) Roadmap on Carcinogens about 120,000 work related cancer cases occur each year as a result exposure carcinogens workplace in EU, leading approximately 80,000 fatalities annually. Occupational risk assessment is used criterion occupational safety.At cement manufacturing sector, it was revealed that main hazard carcinogen substances such respirable crystalline SiO2. In present work, two methods were production enterprise: classical Fine Kinney method Flexible developed by Reinhold Tint. The results of joint application these show advantages disadvantages them point need combine more than one effectively cover aspects assessment. It made evaluation applied existing control measures, well new measures better protection have been proposed.
