ERGONOMIC ASPECTS OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND OCCUPATIONAL HYGIENE EXAMINATIONS

Abstract

The study is devoted to the peculiarities of conducting an examination, including its ergonomic aspects, when investigating violations of occupational safety rules at work. The article indicates the significant role of ergonomics in minimizing the physical and mental load of employees by creating a comfortable and safe working environment, which allows increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of the work performed.The importance of high-quality ergonomic provision of working conditions in various areas is studied: the industrial sector, agriculture, in the educational process and in the field of science. The responsibility of the management of each enterprise for the timely and high-quality provision of ergonomic working conditions is indicated. It is established that when conducting forensic examinations related to violations of occupational safety rules, knowledge of such sciences as physiology, psychology, hygiene and occupational sanitation is widely used. Since situations arise when knowledge of not only individual disciplines, but also their complex impact on human activity in the human-technology-environment system is required, it is the practical results of ergonomics that allow comprehensive and high-quality forensic research in this area. During the investigation of violations in the field of life and ergonomic support that led to an accident, forensic examination is a procedural action that is carried out in the manner prescribed by law by a person knowledgeable in ergonomic science on behalf of investigators and the court. When conducting forensic examination in the field of life, from the standpoint of the stages of ergonomic support, actual data or circumstances of dangerous conditions in the "human-technology-environment" system that led to an accident, breakdown or occupational disease are taken into account and are studied on the basis of special technical knowledge on ergonomic issues that are put forward for examination. The paper outlines the tasks of forensic examination in the field of life activities from the standpoint of the stages of ergonomic support. The feasibility of improving legislation on ergonomics and ergonomic support is formulated.
