Abstract
The paper presents the structuring of physical effort put in by rescuers during training, taking into account the activity specific psychosocial factors, structuring that aimed at streamlining the training process of intervention and rescue personnel in toxic / explosive / flammable environments. Training routes with various degrees of difficulty, allowing the simulation of intervention activities in horizontally and vertically confined spaces, low visibility, high temperature and humidity environments were analysed, for each the specific labour consumption being calculated. A dysfunctional phenomenon caused by the intervention and rescue activity is fatigue, perceived as a body reaction to readjust and restore its functions following intense or repeated body requests for energy consumption. Not only physical fatigue (which can be controlled through exercises) is specific for rescue and intervention activity but also mental fatigue. In addition to physical and technical training, psychosocial training of people who carry out intervention and rescue activities was followed in the training programs.
Highlights
The activity in special conditions created as a result of underground or surface damage, that endangers personnel or material goods and which, because of concentrations of toxic or asphyxiating gases, vapours or dusts exceeding limits established by norms, requires the use of respirators [1, 2]
The direct performer of heavy and dangerous activities for rescuing people and protecting industrial objective is the operative intervention and rescue personnel, who use respiratory protection devices based on compressed air and respectively, compressed oxygen [2]
From the research carried out, it can be concluded that the training of rescuers in the training ground will lead to an increase in the level of safety and health at work, by increasing the capacity to intervene in high safety conditions. [6]
Summary
The activity in special conditions created as a result of underground or surface damage, that endangers personnel or material goods and which, because of concentrations of toxic or asphyxiating gases, vapours or dusts exceeding limits established by norms, requires the use of respirators [1, 2]. As a consequence of accelerated economic development, occupational and industrial risk issues, as well as the level of real risk diversification, have become increasingly important. From the research carried out, it can be concluded that the training of rescuers in the training ground will lead to an increase in the level of safety and health at work, by increasing the capacity to intervene in high safety conditions.
