Occupational Safety and Health / Legislative basis for labor protection

Comments on the article

Identification of hazards of future (planned) production is laid down by the requirements of legislation in the field of industrial safety and labor protection by including requirements for the presence of relevant sections in the project documentation. In a number of cases established by the Federal Law “On Industrial Safety of Hazardous Production Facilities,” an accident risk assessment is provided as part of the industrial safety declaration.

Based on the assessment of the risks of accidents, emergency response plans (EPPs) and training of workers on actions for each specific emergency situation is organized.

The PLA is compiled in order to determine possible scenarios for the occurrence and development of accidents, specifying technical means and actions of production personnel and special units to localize accidents.

The liquidation plan is drawn up for accidents that are typical (most likely) for a given facility. A list of such accidents is compiled as part of the identification and risk assessment and the development of an industrial safety declaration.

The PLA should provide for:

possible accidents, places of their occurrence and conditions dangerous to human life;
measures to rescue people caught in the accident;
measures to eliminate accidents at the initial stage of their occurrence, as well as priority actions of production personnel in the event of accidents;
location of funds for saving people and liquidating accidents;
procedure for interaction with gas rescue, fire and emergency rescue teams.

PLA must contain:

the operational part, in which all types of possible accidents at a given facility must be provided for, measures to rescue people and eliminate the accident must be determined, as well as persons responsible for carrying out the measures and performers, the location of means for rescuing people and eliminating accidents, the actions of gas rescuers, firefighters and other units;
distribution of responsibilities between individuals involved in the liquidation of the accident;
list, telephone numbers, addresses of officials and institutions that must be immediately notified of the accident;
the layout of technological equipment and communications indicating the inputs and outputs of the working environment, valves, taps, valves, knife switches and emergency buttons;
layout of stationary fire extinguishing equipment, cabinets with gas protection equipment, PPE, tools and materials located in emergency cabinets (rooms) and used in cases of an accident, indicating their number and main characteristics, locations of fire detectors and telephones.

The safety of workers during an emergency largely (if not mainly) depends on how adequately they react to a given situation, how clearly they know what to do (and what not to do), where to run, who to inform, etc. .

To develop practical skills and actions in emergency situations, training sessions are regularly held according to the emergency response plan, with a log entry and an assessment of each employee. As a rule, specialists from emergency rescue teams also take part in them to practice coordinated joint actions. Taking into account the specifics of production, classes are held at different frequencies, defined in the safety rules for this industry.

Another equally important point is that all contractors performing work in the conditions of the current production should be brought to the attention of their procedure in case of an emergency. The implementation of this necessary to ensure the safety of the contractor's employees can be entrusted either to the department of labor protection and industrial safety (as part of the introductory briefing), or the heads of structural divisions (workshops, production facilities).

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 ... >>

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. ... >>
