Abstract: It is shown that an important and unresolved part of the problem of humanitarian demining of radiation-contaminated areas by deminers is the lack of approaches to assessing the effectiveness of preparation for humanitarian demining of radiation-contaminated areas using standards. The use of a combination of a protective suit L-1, body armor of the type of protective vest of protection level IV and a protective helmet of protection level III-A, as well as a filtering gas mask of the type GP-5, as a complex of protective means, allowed for a comparative analysis of the performance of a typical operation of donning a complex of armor and radiation protection means without and with the presence of standards for assessing the level of preparedness of deminers. At the same time, they knew about the standard by which they would be evaluated. The results of the statistical evaluation of the experimental results obtained in the process of putting on a complex of armor and radiation protection means depending on the attempt in the case of training using the standards confirmed the assumption of a normal distribution of the time for performing the operation that was chosen for the study. This allowed for a comparative analysis using the Student's t-test. With a significance level calculated using the Student's t-test at a given significance level of =0.05, it was noted that the reduction in time during the preparation of deminers for donning the armor and radiation protection complex using the developed standards is significant. In addition, the effectiveness of the development of operational and technical recommendations for improving humanitarian demining of radiation-contaminated areas was confirmed based on the results of the analysis of the patterns of personnel activity. This opens up opportunities for further improvement of training methods and development of modern operational and technical recommendations that will contribute to the safe and effective performance of tasks in difficult conditions of radiation contamination.
