Abstract

Occupational safety and health is increasingly considered to be a distinct scientific discipline, with a well-defined place in the labor sciences system. The evolution of research in recent years at European and international level has highlighted an increasing interpenetration of occupational safety and health with other scientific disciplines circumscribed or related to the field of industrial engineering, such as medicine and occupational hygiene, ergonomics, sociology, mathematics, computer science etc. In national legislation, the intervention and rescue activity in toxic / explosive / flammable environments has so far proved to be generally appropriate both in terms of prevention and in terms of limiting the effects of technological damage of lesser or greater magnitude. The theoretical and instrumental aspects presented in the paper have a wide applicability, being intended for all rescue stations, regardless of the branch of activity, as well as for specialists in the field of occupational safety and health. Understanding the relationship between the environment, equipment and rescue station personnel and ho-w these three components interact is fundamental to achieving increased efficiency in rescue work.

Highlights

  • The increased importance of evaluating the way of adapting to the specifics of jobs in the perspective of developing prophylactic actions to combat risk factors and reduce their impact, requires, above all, knowledge, and the development and development of methods and techniques of work analysis in in order to establish the necessary measures for the efficiency of the optimal mutual adaptation between the executor and the professional task and the physical and psychosocial ambiance of the activity

  • Activity under special conditions [1], created as a result of underground damage and endangering personnel or material goods, where due to exceeding the concentrations of toxic or asphyxiating gases, vapors and dusts established by norms, which require the use of insulating devices for respiratory protection, are ensured through rescue stations

  • During these damages, when there is a danger of toxic or asphyxiating gases, vapors and dusts at the interception of old works, massive voids, at the control and research of some areas with uncertain atmosphere [1], as well as in other situations established and approved by the technical leader of the unit, until a breathable atmosphere is achieved [1], the works will be performed with the personnel of the rescue stations

Summary

Introduction

The increased importance of evaluating the way of adapting to the specifics of jobs in the perspective of developing prophylactic actions to combat risk factors and reduce their impact, requires, above all, knowledge, and the development and development of methods and techniques of work analysis in in order to establish the necessary measures for the efficiency of the optimal mutual adaptation between the executor and the professional task and the physical and psychosocial ambiance of the activity. It is necessary to emphasize concerns in this area, as well as information on the status of the problem in other countries From the latter point of view, two distinct orientations must be emphasized: in some Western European countries - such as France, England, Germany in particular - labor analysis is associated and indispensable with ergonomic actions, while in the U.S.A. “Job analysis” is the foundation of the organizational system of human resources management, from which derive its main components
