Occupational Safety and Health / Legislative basis for labor protection

If an employee performs work specified in the industry list of work with heavy and harmful, especially difficult and especially harmful working conditions, then he is given additional payments to the established amount of remuneration. Specific amounts of additional payments are determined on the basis of certification of workplaces and assessment of working conditions. With subsequent rationalization of jobs and improvement of working conditions, additional payments are reduced or eliminated completely.

In turn, sectoral ministries and departments develop and, in agreement with the relevant trade union committees, approve sectoral regulations, which include working conditions factors that most fully take into account the specifics of the work performed in the industry.

The actual state of working conditions is assessed on the basis of workplace certification data or special instrumental measurements of the levels of working environment factors, which are reflected in the Map of Working Conditions at the Workplace.

For enterprises that have limited capabilities to carry out instrumental measurements of the levels of factors in the working environment, it is allowed, as an exception, to use the method of express assessment of the state of working conditions according to certain criteria.

The amounts of additional payments depending on the actual state of working conditions are established by the heads of associations, enterprises and organizations in agreement with the trade union committee. Keep in mind that additional payments are established for specific jobs and are accrued to workers only for the period of actual employment in these places.

Thus, ministries and departments, on the basis of Standard Lists of Work with Heavy and Harmful, Particularly Heavy and Particularly Harmful Working Conditions, under which additional payments to workers for working conditions can be established, develop and, in agreement with the central committees of trade unions, approve the corresponding sectoral lists of work. Associations, enterprises, organizations, taking into account the industry list of works and the results of certification of workplaces, develop a list of workplaces and specific jobs in which additional payments are established to workers for working conditions, indicating the amount of these additional payments.

This list is approved, included in the collective agreement with measures to improve working conditions, and is reviewed annually taking into account the work carried out to rationalize jobs, mechanize manual labor, and improve its organization and conditions. With the subsequent rationalization of jobs, new Working Conditions Maps are drawn up, on the basis of which additional payments are reduced or canceled completely.

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. ... >>

The temperature of the world's oceans has been rising for four years in a row 21.01.2023

In 2022, the world's oceans reached their highest temperature on record for the fourth year in a row, according to new research. This is clear evidence of human-caused climate change.

Sea surface temperatures have a major impact on the world's weather, with warmer oceans associated with more extreme hurricanes, heatwaves, droughts and heavy rainfall.

Since 1970, the oceans have absorbed about 90% of the excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions. Ocean temperatures are less susceptible to short-term weather changes than air temperatures, making the oceans a good indicator of the effects of climate change.

A warmer ocean also means more water, rising sea levels and flooding. The oceans are rising, and more and more, the rise is accelerating.

The scientific work also studied the salinity of the ocean, which determines the density of water and affects the circulation of the ocean. The scientists found that the difference between average salinity in regions of high and low salinity (Salinity Contrast Index) was the highest of all time in 2022.

The study shows that the ocean is also becoming more stratified (layered), forming layers of varying densities, making it difficult to transport oxygen and nutrients through the water. Tighter stratification also causes the oceans to absorb less heat from the atmosphere, contributing to global warming.
