Organization of propaganda for the safe work production of a signaller and an automobile crane operator

Abstract

Violations of the labor safety regulation and disregard of the rules concerning work performance are the main causes of industrial accidents. Labor safety propaganda should be organized at each enterprise. Propaganda teaches workers to have clearly perceived need to comply with the requirements for safe work performance, and is also an integral part of injury prevention. The paper presents the results of improving the safety of the work of the signaler and an automobile crane operator by means of promoting labor safety. The main traumatic factors for the above professions were identified. They are: the work of the machine operator, not performed at the signal of the signaler; work with a faulty safety lock, as well as work with faulty safety devices and faulty equipment; unloaded cargo at the end of work and during work breaks, excess load capacity; performance of works when there are people in the danger zone (unfenced territory), and as a result, presence of the injured person in the danger zone of the crane work; contact with electric current, in the absence of grounding of the crane. For each identified factor, a poster was developed reminding of the need to comply with labor safety rules. The developed posters were introduced into production during the operation of automobile cranes in the Izhevsk branch of Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Main Military Construction Directorate No. 7” (FGUP “GVSU No. 7”).
