The subject of labor protection

The subject of the scientific discipline "Labor protection" is the system of preserving human life and health in the process of labor activity. Experience shows that any type of human activity should be useful for its existence, but at the same time it can be a source of negative impacts or harm, leads to injuries, diseases, and sometimes ends in complete disability or death. Any activity can cause harm to a person: work in production (labor activity), activities related to the acquisition of knowledge (learning activity) and even various types of recreation and entertainment. Emergency statistics give grounds to assert that any activity is potentially dangerous. This provision forms the basis of the theory and methods for solving a more general problem - ensuring human BZ.

Occupational safety as an academic discipline includes following sections:

labor protection legislation;
fundamentals of safety;
occupational health and industrial sanitation;
Fire safety.

The problems of ensuring safety and labor protection affect many aspects of the life of labor collectives, organization of labor and production management, are versatile and multifaceted. The difficulty lies in the fact that the solution to safety problems must be provided continuously at every stage of the production and educational process, at every site and at every workplace. The purpose of the course "Labor Protection" is to develop in future teachers the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities in the field of labor protection and safety, taking into account the specifics of their future professional and pedagogical activities.

Basic concepts of labor protection

Occupational Safety and Health - a system for preserving the life and health of workers in the course of their work, including legal, socio-economic, organizational, technical, sanitary and hygienic, medical and preventive, rehabilitation and other measures.

Working conditions - a set of factors of the working environment and the labor process that affect the performance and health of workers.

Harmful production factor - a production factor, the negative impact of which can lead to an employee's illness.

Hazardous production factor - a negative factor, the impact of which on an employee can lead to his injury or a dangerous disease.

Safe working conditions - working conditions under which the impact on workers of harmful or hazardous production factors is excluded or the levels of their impact do not exceed the established standards.

Workplace - the place where the employee must be or to which he needs to arrive in connection with his work and which is directly or indirectly under the control of the employer.

Means of individual and collective protection of workers - technical means used to prevent or reduce the impact on workers of harmful or hazardous production factors, as well as to protect against pollution.

Safe Operation - a set of measures and means by which injuries and diseases of workers are excluded.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Thunderbolt from Intel will reach 20Gbps 13.04.2013

Intel has announced work on the development of Thunderbolt technology.

The new Thunderbolt Intel DSL4510/4410 controllers have added support for DisplayPort 1.2 (available when connecting monitors with built-in DisplayPort) and improved power management. In addition, their use allows you to reduce the cost of components required to add Thunderbolt to an electronic device.

In addition, Intel showed an engineering sample of the next generation Thunderbolt controller, codenamed Falcon Ridge. This controller supports 20 Gb/s speed, enabling 4K video transmission. The company expects to start serial production of Falcon Ridge at the end of the year, and in 2014 - to increase its volume. The new controllers will remain compatible with existing equipment and cabling.

Thunderbolt's current bandwidth limit is 10 Gbps.
