ПРОБЛЕМИ ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ПІДГОТОВКИ МАЙБУТНІХ ФАХІВЦІВ МЕХАНІЧНОЇ ІНЖЕНЕРІЇ ДО ПРАЦЕОХОРОННОЇ ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ

Abstract

The article substantiates the need to train specialists in mechanical engineering in labor protection professional activities at the training stage in higher education institutions.The author identified problems of labor protection in the engineering industry, analyzed the possible ways to solve them, which are discussed in scientific publications. Based on this, it was found that the problem of training specialists in mechanical engineering in labor protection professional activities is the complex and requires ensuring the development of a culture of occupational safety of students at all stages of professional training.The content of the term “safety culture” has been analyzed and the components of safety culture of a specialist in the field of mechanical engineering have been determined. In particular, they include theoretical knowledge, awareness of the importance of safety in professional activities, which is formed under the influence of internal and external motives of safe behavior in the workplace, practical skills of safe work, as well as an internal need to comply with safety requirements in the workplace.Based on the analysis of scientific and methodological literature and their own pedagogical experience, directions for the development of a safety culture in the process of preparing specialists in mechanical engineering have been proposed. In particular, the development of components of the concept of safety culture machine engineering specialists, improving the content of vocational training, improving work programs in the disciplines “Safety”, “Fundamentals of labor protection” and “Labor protection in the industry”, improving forms and methods of training, as well as appropriate use of new information technologies in the educational process.Prospects for further research identified the development of a safety culture concept for machine-engineering specialists, as well as the definition of indicators and criteria that will assess the state of development of a safety culture for students of engineering specialties.
