The current labor legislation of Russia establishes the equality of men and women in labor relations: when hiring, setting wages, working hours and rest periods, etc. At the same time, taking into account the characteristics of the female body, labor legislation provides for a number of benefits for workers women, increased protection of their work. The Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for special guarantees for women in connection with pregnancy.

Thus, the use of women's labor is limited to heavy work and work with harmful and dangerous working conditions, as well as underground work, with the exception of non-physical work or work on sanitary and domestic services. It is forbidden for women to carry and move weights that exceed the limits established for them.

The list of hard work and work with harmful or dangerous working conditions, in the performance of which the use of women's labor is prohibited, was approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of February 25, 2000 No. 162, taking into account the opinion of the Russian tripartite commission for the regulation of social and labor relations.

In order to ensure healthy and safe working conditions for women working in enterprises, institutions and organizations of any organizational and legal forms and types of ownership, the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of February 6, 1993 approved new norms for maximum permissible loads for women when lifting and moving heavy loads manually.

Emphasis The legislator gives to pregnant women and women with a child under 3 years old. Thus, it is prohibited to send pregnant women on business trips, to engage in overtime work, work at night, weekends and non-working holidays of pregnant women (Articles 253, 259,261 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Additional labor protection benefits established for women are to be provided regardless of the form of ownership of their labor - private, state, municipal or property of public associations and organizations.

Termination of an employment contract with pregnant women at the initiative of the employer is not allowed. It is also not allowed to terminate an employment contract at the initiative of the employer with women with children under the age of three, single mothers raising a child under the age of fourteen (a disabled child under eighteen), other persons raising these children without mothers.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>
