- Lighting of office rooms with computers (10)
Office work consists primarily of performing activities related to the operation of the computer or laptop, in which the eye plays a very important role. Employees currently spend 8 or more hours a day in the office. Therefore, lighting of rooms in which computers are located should ensure that typical office work is carried out effectively. When designing lighting, proper visibility of the visual task should be taken into account, but it is also important to ensure proper lighting of the entire room. Therefore, not only should the correct (meeting the requirements of the lighting standard) lighting of the visual task be provided, but also pay attention to the light environment, which must guarantee employees comfort of vision, adequate visual performance and safety. Of course, both of these aspects should work together to create both stimulating (stimulating) working conditions and good visibility of the visual task. If the lighting also meets the energy saving aspect, then it can be considered that the basic lighting goals have been met in the room.

Men are eager to talk about their health and show interest in this subject, which shows that a properly planned health education program would bring the desired results in the form of greater health care.
- Transmission of the signal by hearing protectors with adjustable attenuation in the presence of an acoustic pulse (21)
Hearing protectors with adjustable attenuation are increasingly used to protect the hearing of people exposed to impulse noise. The advantage of using this type of protector is the improved perception of hearing useful signals compared to passive earmuffs. However, despite the significant advantages of protectors with adjustable attenuation, the effect of "blocking" sound transmission under hearing protectors (i.e. limiting the signal transmission by hearing protectors) can be observed during their use, occurring immediately after the appearance of an acoustic impulse. The article presents the analysis of the transmission of the acoustic signal under hearing protectors with adjustable attenuation in the event of an acoustic impulse.
