Occupational Safety and Health / Legislative basis for labor protection

Occupational safety and health of citizens at present in the Russian Federation it has been elevated to the rank of a priority direction of the social policy of the Russian state. The Constitution of the Russian Federation (Article 7) established that labor and health of people are protected in the Russian Federation. State guarantees of social protection are established.

The protection of the health of citizens is a set of measures of a political, economic, legal, social, cultural, scientific, medical, sanitary-hygienic and anti-epidemic nature, aimed at preserving and strengthening the physical and mental health of each person, maintaining his long-term active life, providing him with medical care in case of loss of health.

The right to health protection is a broad concept in terms of coverage of subjects (applies to all citizens), in assessing the factors affecting health (from any type of adverse impact - both on the environment and on the population, factors of both natural and man-made nature), regulation tasks (measures should ensure both the preservation of health and its strengthening, i.e. development).

Occupational Safety and Health provides protection to the worker from adverse effects production environment. Such protection is carried out from a limited range of well-defined production factors. Production factors are classified by state labor safety standards and include: physical, chemical, biological and psychophysical factors. The impact of each of them can lead to a constantly developing disease of an employee (harmful factor) or, at certain levels of exposure, to instant disability or even death (dangerous factor). The gradation of production factors into harmful and dangerous largely determined the approaches adopted in the regulations on labor protection when formulating requirements for the choice of protective measures.

An employee in production needs, first of all, protection from excessive workloads, from ignoring or insufficiently taking into account the various negative production factors by the employer, from neglecting differences in individual qualities. The worker also needs to be protected from the dangers of injury or illness due to interaction with modern complex means of production and other factors of the working environment.

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

The car adapts to the driving style of its owner 31.01.2002

At the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2001, a new concept car was presented to the general public that can adapt to the driving style of its owner and help him drive.

The novelty, created by specialists from Toyota Motor and Sony, has biometric sensors mounted in the steering column that measure the heart rate and conductivity of the driver's skin. If the driver is too excited or feels unwell, which immediately affects his functional state, fixed by sensors, the on-board computer gives an alarm to the driver and turns on emergency lights, warning other drivers and pedestrians of the danger.

Similarly, the car behaves in case of speeding and dangerously close to obstacles.
