The impact of hazardous substances on working conditions in the energy sector, where in addition to physical microclimate indicators there is thermal radiation, gas emissions, vapors, metal dust, and radioactive materials, leads to risks to air quality in industrial premises. A decrease in air quality can result in the deterioration of workers health and the development of chronic diseases. This work demonstrates the need for a comprehensive approach to monitoring air quality in the working area of industrial premises with installed electrical distribution devices. This approach combines the determination of microclimate sanitary standards with simultaneous control of air pollutants and thermal imaging analysis of equipment condition. Such approach helps prevent accidents by timely detection of deviations from normal operating conditions and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements for occupational safety. As part of the research, the proposed approach was tested in the working area of an industrial premises with installed electrical distribution devices, which made it possible to determine air pollution indicators, microclimate parameters, and equipment temperature under normal operating conditions
