The article considers the methods of rationalizing the process of heating the refractory materials of aluminum electrolyzers up in relation to thermal stresses arising in the hearth lining. The functional goals of the refractory materials are listed. The operational characteristics of the refractory materials are presented. During thermal influence on a hearth lining, the physical effects called thermal expansion occur. The materials which save their properties under high temperature are known as refractory materials. The thermostability is described in more detail. The scientific test bench was used to investigate ultimate strength. The method of temperature and pressure measurement when conducting the experiments is cited. In order to choose the potlining it is necessary to know the peculiarities of refractory materials and actual industrial loadings as precisely as possible.

The analysis of the current management system of labor protection at «Aluminum of Kazakhstan» JSC is provided. Services and departments providing production activities are presented. The basic principles of the management system of labor protectionare considered. The organization of work on labor protection and development of corrective and preventive actions are presented.

The article deals with the features of the manifestation of professional deformation of a personality in conditions of monotonous work. The base of the research is "Aluminum of Kazakhstan" JSC. The author has studied possible problems associated with professional deformation under monotonous work conditions, examined various structures of personality deformation. еу words:

The article describes the results of the analysis of the state of working conditions at the enterprise and at the site of JSC «Алюминий Казахстан». Deficiencies in the OSH management system have been identified. Measures are proposed to improve working conditions and prevent industrial injuries. These measures will help ensure safe working conditions in the workplace and reduce the risk of occupational diseases

Environmental protection measures are based, among other things, on the rationalization of the organization of the production waste management process. Population growth and the race to industrialize pose a serious threat to the ecosystem. Currently, the average global waste generation per capita is 494 kg / year. A large number of industrial enterprises operate on the territory of Kazakhstan. The range of manufactured products is very wide: household items, transport, building materials, equipment and much more. Each type of production is inevitably a source of a large amount of industrial waste, annually at the enterprises of Kazakhstan up to 600 million tons of waste are generated, three percent of which are recycled. On the territory of Pavlodar region there are enterprises in the field of metallurgy, mechanical engineering, chemical industry, construction industry enterprises, light industry, about a hundred in total. In this connection, the problem of treatment and disposal of industrial waste in Pavlodar region is very relevant. The article discusses the system of waste management in order to reduce their impact on the environment, activities for the disposal, transportation, disposal of waste, as well as their disposal at the industrial waste landfill in Pavlodar. The landfill in question is intended for the reception, temporary storage and disposal of non-hazardous solid industrial waste of the «green» level: waste and scrap of chromium, cadmium, aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, manganese, plastic waste, polyethylene, abrasive, rubber waste, ash and ash and slag waste; and also «amber»: waste containing mercury, arsenic, lead, waste batteries, phosphoric slags, waste oils, oil sludge. The scheme of organizing waste storage works is considered. The volume of accepted and recycled waste, as well as those placed at the landfill and used for their own needs, was analyzed, including construction waste, waste sleepers, ash and slag and abrasive scrap. The solution to the problem of industrial waste disposal is associated with the need for innovation and the introduction of new technologies and equipment.

The article is devoted to the study of the main types of retort packaging, as well as polymer and combined materials used for its manufacture. The authors have compiled a classification of retort packaging presented on the modern market, investigated the technological properties of packaging materials, and also determined the requirements for modern retort packaging: resistance to sterilization at a temperature of at least 120°C, steam and moisture resistance, chemical inertia to canned products, tightness, low gas permeability. It has been established that in order to give the retort packaging the required properties, it is made of multilayer polymer or combined materials, each of the layers of which performs certain functions. It is determined that due to the barrier properties of polymer and combined materials with respect to oxygen, retort packaging provides shelf life of canned products up to 5 years, which allows the use of retort packaging made of polymer and combined materials as an alternative to glass and metal packaging. In experimental studies, the composition of the outer layers of modern retort packaging was analyzed and it was concluded that polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate are most often used, since these polymer materials are thermally and chemically resistant, vapor- and moisture-proof. It is established that materials that are barriers to gases are used as the middle layer – aluminum foil, metallized films, ethylene vinyl alcohol, polyamide. It is proved that polymer co-extrusion, multilayer injection molding or lamination is used for the manufacture of such materials and packaging. The data obtained indicate the high barrier properties of combined packaging materials, therefore, the thermal and chemical stability of the polymer and combined materials used makes it possible to use retort packaging for packing almost all groups of canned products.
