Purpose of research . The purpose of this study is to assess the potential of applying information technology, in particular mobile multifunction devices, as an additional type of control of harmful production factors in the field of labour protection. Methods . One of the main techniques used in this study is an experiment involving laboratory measurements of the level of artificially created production noise using a mobile multifunction device (smartphone) with pre-installed utilities and a calibrated device ‒ noise meter, and subsequent comparison of the results. The measurements were carried out in accordance with the methodological guidelines developed specially for mobile multifunction devices (MMFDs) by the authors. Results. An analysis of the results obtained made it possible to assess the possibility of applying mobile multifunction devices in monitoring harmful factors in the work environment. While conducting the research, it was found that it is possible to use MMFDs in the occupational safety management system of the enterprise, since the deviations of the obtained values from the values of the calibrated noise meter adopted as the standard are insignificant. According to the results of the study, a flow diagram for the use of mobile multifunctional devices in occupational safety management systems of an enterprise was developed. Conclusion. Thus, the use of MMFDs as an additional means of controlling the parameters of the production environment from the theoretical point of view is possible. It should be noted that in practice, application of MMFDs in the occupational safety management system will be challenging from legal and methodological viewpoints. The most basic problem is that MMFDs are not registered in the State Register of Measuring Equipment as measuring tools, which does not allow the official use of the data obtained. However, application of mobile multifunctional devices in the field of labour protection will ensure rapid collection of information on changes in indicators of harmful factors in the work environment, and as a result, will make it possible to quickly respond to these changes, which will significantly reduce the risk of accidents and occupational diseases.
