Methods for assessing the severity of labor. Basics of safe life

Fundamentals of Safe Life Activities (OBZhD)

The severity and intensity of labor are characterized the degree of functional stress of the body. With physical labor, it can be energetic, depending on the power of work. With mental labor, it can be emotional.

The physical severity of labor is a load on the body during labor, requiring mainly muscle effort and appropriate energy supply. Classification of labor by severity produced according to the level of energy consumption, taking into account the type of load (static or dynamic) and the muscles being loaded.

Static work associated with the fixation of tools and objects of labor in a stationary state, as well as with the adoption by a person of a working posture. Work that requires the employee to be in a static position for 10-25% of the working time is work of moderate severity.

Dynamic work - the process of muscle contraction, leading to the movement of the load, as well as the human body itself or its parts in space. Energy is spent both on maintaining a certain tension in the muscles, and on a mechanical effect.

Labor tension It is characterized by an emotional load on the body during work, which requires predominantly intensive work of the brain to receive and process information. When assessing the degree of tension, ergonomic indicators are taken into account: shift work, posture, number of movements, etc.

Optimal working conditions provide maximum productivity and minimum tension of the human body. Optimal standards have been established for microclimate parameters and labor process factors. Permissible working conditions are characterized by such levels of environmental and labor process factors that do not exceed the established hygienic standards for workplaces. The optimal and permissible classes correspond to safe working conditions.

Harmful working conditions are characterized by levels of harmful production factors that exceed hygienic standards and have an adverse effect on the body of the worker and (or) his offspring.

Extreme working conditions are characterized by such levels of production factors, the impact of which during the work shift (or part of it) poses a threat to life, a high risk of severe forms of acute occupational injuries.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Artificial steaks, similar to real ones 03.04.2020

Researchers at the Israel Institute of Technology have achieved a breakthrough in the production of cultured meat grown outside the body of an animal.

Professor Shulamit Levenberg, Dean of the Technion's Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, has developed an innovative technology for growing cultured meat in soy protein forests. Initially, it was intended for medicine, in particular - for tissue engineering and the creation of transplants.

Today, there are many incentives for the development of the cultured meat industry. These include the environmental damage caused by the meat processing industry, the massive use of antibiotics accelerating the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, the ethical debate over animal suffering, and the industry's environmental footprint due to the heavy use of natural resources.

Aleph Farms is the first company to successfully farm steaks without slaughter. Professor Levenberg is a founding partner of the company and its chief scientist. In an article on the Nature Food portal, he described how, in just three to four weeks, the company’s employees manage to grow meat that is similar in structure and color to beef. According to him, this process differs little from the natural one, as if tissue cells were growing in the body of a healthy cow.

How does this happen? Cells grow on a scaffold that replaces the extracellular matrix found in animals. Since the ultimate goal is food, the "scaffolding" must also be edible, so the team considered only edible alternatives. The choice fell on soy protein, a cheap by-product from the production of soybean oil. It is rich in protein and its porous structure is excellent for tissue growth.

Thanks to the many tiny holes in the structure of the protein, cells stick to it and begin to divide. Through the holes, they receive oxygen and nutrients necessary for building muscle tissue. In addition, as needed, this frame can be modified for a specific form factor.

As a result of testing, it was proved that the meat is almost identical in taste and texture to a natural steak.
