Photovoltaic safety (3) Interview with diploma Eng. Hermann Laukamp from the Fraunhofer Institute for Solat Energy Systems ISE
Because health is the most important thing. Conference "Safe at the start, healthy at the finish line - effective management of the safety and health of employees" (4) We are aging - it is a fact. Both as a society and as a population of employees. As anticipated by EU-OSHA in 2030, employees aged 55-64 will make up at least 30 percent. total workforce. As a result of demographic changes in Europe in recent years almost universal raising of the retirement age (Poland also did so, but since October this year restored the previous state) - usually to the level of 67 years. Longer professional life also means a longer time of human exposure to hazards in the workplace, as well as challenges caused by, for example, technological progress and changes in the approach to work management. It seems logical, therefore, to focus the attention of the world of work on potential health problems that may affect the elderly, professionally active population. For although work is a value in itself, health is the most important.
Europe under constant stress. Conference on "Do not get stressed" (6) For the first time, the ESENER survey was conducted in the European Union in 2009. And then it turned out that 4 out of 5 managers in Europe consider issues related to stress at work as just as important as accidents at work. Work-related stress is particularly noted in the sectors of health care and social assistance and education. Five years later, Europe re-examined. And, unfortunately, the results of the ESENER 2 study show that the problem not only has not disappeared, but actually gets deeper.
Requirements and working conditions of water rescuers and their image in the eyes of users of bathing areas (8) Water rescuers are usually young people who are just starting their professional career. Responsibility resting on their shoulders in conjunction with a number of factors that distract or disrupt the performance of basic tasks may cause a decrease in security in the facility they guard. The average citizen is often unaware of the burdensome working conditions of this occupational group and the great risks involved. Although water rescuers seem to be a guarantee of safety, they are relatively poorly assessed by the users of bathing beaches.
Sinus pressure sore in underground mining - case study (12) The article discusses the case of barotrauma of the paranasal sinuses, which occurred under the conditions of underground copper ore mine. The cases described in the literature of this type are usually associated with diving or aviation. Barotrauma is a combination of two Greek words baros - weight and trauma - wound, injury or injury. For the needs of medical sciences and rescue services, a synonym for pressure was adopted (UC). The main reason for the occurrence of UC sinus is the lack of patency of one of the wires connecting the sinus with the nose during a sudden change in atmospheric pressure. The article presents the cause of the injury, the course of treatment and the consequences of the accident. An attempt was also made to estimate the risk of occurrence of UC on three groups of persons potentially exposed to the possibility of an event occurring.
Risk assessment at a repetitive work station using the OCRA method (16) The article presents the practical application of the OCRA method, which is used to assess risk while performing repetitive activities with the help of upper limbs. The risk of the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders on the assembly station was assessed. Skillfully performed load estimation at repetitive workstations so that it is possible to identify and educate the risk of occurrence of ailments that are a consequence of this work is of great importance - there are many positions on which it is necessary to repeat the same activities.
Material liability of employees under the Labor Code (21) One of the significant problems in the field of labor law is the employee's liability for the property entrusted to him by the employer. The employee does not always perform the work in the way his employer would like it. In all spheres of economic life, there may be various types of events that cause damage to employees, be it to the employer or to third parties. An employer may seek redress through an amicable or legal proceeding for damages caused by the employee's fault. Sometimes, due to a breach of employee duties by an employee who caused the damage, the employer decides to part with the employee by terminating the employment contract with him. However, even if the employer dismisses the employee by giving notice or pursuant to art. 52 k.p., there remains the problem of enforcing claims for compensation of damage.

"Safely from the beginning" - exhibition of posters at CIOP-PIB (28) The theme of this year's poster competition, organized by the Central Institute for Labor Protection - National Research Institute since 1997, corresponds with the slogan of the current European information campaign (2016-2017) "Safe at the start, healthy at the finish line", whose idea is to maintain health for as long as possible employees. It is hard to deny that a "good beginning" of a career path is a premise for successful development and safe access to the end stage of employee activity. It is very desirable to instill the right habits and adopt appropriate attitudes by young people at the threshold of their adult life.
