Occupational Safety and Health / Legislative basis for labor protection

It should be noted that already at the design stage of construction, designers should take into account the requirements of labor protection and industrial safety. Guidance and reference materials for addressing requirements and developing health and safety solutions are:

requirements of regulatory legal and regulatory and technical acts containing state requirements for labor protection and safety;
standard solutions for labor safety, reference manuals and catalogs of technological equipment and protective equipment for workers;
instructions of manufacturers of machines, equipment, tooling used in the process of work;
previously developed documentation on the organization of construction and production of works.

During the construction of facilities, measures must be taken to prevent exposure of workers to hazardous and harmful production factors. Prior to the start of construction of the facility, the general contractor must carry out preparatory work on the organization of the construction site, necessary to ensure the safety of construction.

All work at the construction site must be carried out in strict accordance with the available technological documentation, according to the technological sequence and schedule. If it is necessary to combine work, additional measures must be taken to ensure the safety of the combined work.

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 ... >>

Household DNA analysis and pollution level sensor 26.10.2013

Specialists from the Japanese company Hamamatsu Photonics have developed a sensor that allows you to analyze DNA and monitor the level of environmental pollution at home.

To analyze DNA using a new sensor, quite a bit of blood is enough - about as much as a mosquito sucks. As for pollution, the sensor allows you to monitor the level of radiation and particulate matter (PM2.5). The sensor is a photomultiplier that converts the photon flux into an electrical signal and amplifies it. However, it is not made in the form of an electrovacuum device, as usual, but in the form of a microelectromechanical system (MEMS).

A photomultiplier tube is a key element of a fluorometer, a device that allows you to determine the presence of a specific substance in a sample. The sensor operates in the wavelength range from 300 nm (UV) to 850 nm (near IR). In addition, it can measure the intensity of ionizing radiation, for which you need a scintillator - a substance that emits light under the influence of ionizing radiation. Since the number of emitted photons is approximately proportional to the absorbed energy, in order to estimate the radiation intensity, it is enough to obtain the energy spectrum of the light radiation of the scintillator, which the sensor does an excellent job of.

An idea of the dimensions of the sensor, which the developers called Micro PMT, is given by an illustration. For comparison: miniature photomultipliers currently produced are cylinders 1,5 cm in diameter and 5 cm high. Another advantage of Micro PMT is its immunity to vibration and shock, which allows the sensor to be used in mobile devices. The areas of application of Micro PMT are medical devices, including personal ones.

The manufacturer plans to offer two models, one of which will have a built-in power supply. In the manufacture of sensors, semiconductor production technologies are used, due to which their cost is low. The trial sample costs approximately $620.
