Abstract
The article analyzes a semantic meaning of the term "sustainable development" followed by its proper interpretation. It has been determined that in recent years, the number of natural and man-made disasters has increased rapidly due to the processes of technogenic environment expansion, the active growth of our planet population and large-scale urbanization. It is established that in recent decades the number of major man-made disasters consistently exceeds the number of natural ones. In the structure of man-made disasters (among industrial, transport and mixed), the largest number of victims and material damage were induced by industrial disasters. Definition of the main principle of sustainable development was interpreted. It is concluded that trends of the modern human development model directly contradict the above principle. The known studies were reviewed concerning directions of the humanity’s sustainable development concept realization globally and in Ukraine, as well as to the role of labor protection and industrial safety within the above process. The evolutionary development of labor protection has been provided as a science from ancient times to the present, as well as the contribution of great scientists to the development of labor protection and industrial safety. Modern trends of professional risks and man-made hazards in Ukraine, in particular, in the flour grinding industry and the world are analyzed. Based on the analysis, it was determined that currently a particular danger is the comprehensive application (availability, trafficking) of chemicals in all without exception workplaces feed mills, grain mills, flour mills and other enterprises of our country, as well as the large-scale use of pesticides of the first and second class of hazard. Another concern is the fact that modern personal protective equipment is not able to protect people from fine particles of chemicals (size 1 – 100 nanometers (nm), widely applied in modern industries thanks to the comprehensive use of nanotechnology in the world. It has been established that 4.4% of world stocks of unsuitable for use pesticides are accumulated in the territory of Ukraine. An increase in the number of chemicals in the air of the working area during the technological processes at the enterprises of the flour-grinding industry has caused 86% of all deaths associated with professional human activities. The leading role of labor protection as a necessary element of ensuring the implementation of the sustainable development concept in the world is indicated. Main modern problems of labor protection development as a science in Ukraine are defined and promising ways of their solution are offered.
Highlights
The concept of sustainable humanity development, as the most promising ideology of the 21st century, has become a logical response to concerns of the world's leading scientific institutions engaged in the study of global processes on our Planet concerning the limited natural resources, environmental pollution and, as a consequence, the deterioration of living conditions of the society
Many scientists interpret its meanings differently, but the general idea that unites them is to meet needs of modern and future generations while preserving the environment [1]. The author proposed his own, refined definition of the term "sustainable development" for a clearer vision of problems that need to be solved in the implementation of the above concept
Articulation of an issue The harmonious combination of economic, environmental and socio-spiritual aspects of the existence of society depends on the personal level of knowledge and culture of an each individual, which in turn is formed and changed, starting with preschool, secondary and higher education institutions and ending with professional activities at the enterprises of the national economy
Summary
2. Current trends in occupational risks and hatection and jeopardizes the implementation of interna- zards in Ukraine and the world over are determined by tional Conventions on labor protection ratified by our the growth of occupational diseases associated with the country, and, most importantly, is aimed at the de- large-scale application of chemicals and compounds, as struction of basic knowledge and competencies of the well as by the increase in the number and severity of future generation of national economy laborers. Modern issues of labor protection developlead to the final degradation of economic, environmental ment as a science in Ukraine connected with imperfecand social aspects of the state development, that is, the tion of the legislative and regulatory framework on labor degradation of the gradual sustainable development of protection, as well as with the fact that Ukrainian higher our state The solution of these urgent issues should be tendencies, the importance of training of students-future implemented in the following promising ways: specialists and managers of industrial enterprises and.
