3. The man, because the risk of the project: lighting and lamps, which provide a lower risk of transportation and the threat of plant reaction.

What, how, to take the threat of health hazards under control:

1. Control Engineering: to isolate the changes in work procedures, and concluded with hazardous substances, the use of automation to work with operational changes and ventilation of moist air.
