According to the structure of the objects served, operating organizations have geographically remote workplaces. These traditionally include organizations in the telecommunications industry, electric power, gas industry, oil industry, and others. With the development of telecommunication channels and electronic data transmission technologies, more and more enterprises in the world use the labor of workers who work remotely. There is a trend in the world to increase the number of jobs that operate remotely from each other. This is due to global cooperation, territorial unevenness in the distribution of qualified human resources, as well as different costs depending on the region for the organization of jobs. In the context of the spread of COVID-19 and other infections, industrial communications via telecommunications channels in some cases become the only possible and safe way. Despite the territorial remoteness of workplaces from each other, the requirements of labor legislation for training and testing the knowledge of labor protection requirements for employees remain. The article presents a map of creating a value stream in the process of testing knowledge of labor protection requirements in the Volgograd branch of PJSC «RTK». The map visualizes the process and shows operations that create value for the company when checking the employee’s knowledge of occupational safety requirements. The analysis of the transport component during the verification of knowledge of labor protection requirements is given. The article presents the necessary and sufficient types and methods of transmitting information in the process of checking knowledge of labor protection requirements. It is concluded that it is expedient for remote workplaces to switch from face-to-face testing of knowledge of labor protection requirements to remote testing.

The Impact

In the article special attention is paid to the problems of estimating the effect of temporary employment on injuries and occupational diseases. The purpose of the research is to form theoretical and methodological basis for assessing the impact of temporary and informal employment in its broad sense on the level of occupational safety to study the connection between the nature of employment and high risk of injury in the workplace. Various definitions of temporary employment and concepts related to this term are analyzed, which are often used in scientific research. The main characteristics of concepts such as temporary employment, informal economy, informal sector, informal employment, conditional employment are considered. It is substantiated that statistical observation of informal employment is important not only for the improvement of employment policy and statistics of national accounts, but also for the formulation and implementation of labor protection programs, poverty reduction, promotion of small and medium enterprises, productivity growth and socio-economic development of territorial units, creating new jobs. The analysis of the organization of labor and the state of labor markets by countries of the world based on indicators of under-utilization of labor force is carried out. The tendencies of changes in the share of workers with temporary employment by the countries of the world and the changes in the organization of labor influence the labor protection are analyzed. Risk factors that distinguish the work of temporary workers from other types of employment are identified and analyzed, as well as factors that explain the causes of lower levels of occupational safety among temporary employees. The peculiarities of the research of temporary agency workers are determined. It is proved that the lack of mechanisms for monitoring the necessary aspects of the functioning of the labor market impedes the work of regulators, law enforcement agencies and politicians who, in the case of availability of relevant information, can act to strengthen national labor safety standards.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the current state of legal protection of labor protection when performing work with pesticides, as well as the formulation on its basis of conclusions and proposals aimed at improving the current legislation in this area. It is established that the process of updating labor legislation is currently underway in Ukraine. In particular, through the adoption of regulations governing the rules of labor protection when working with certain types of chemicals (for example, ammonium nitrate). As a result of the study of current legislation in the field of labor protection when working with pesticides, it was concluded that the basic documents (State Sanitary Rules 8.8.1.2.001-98 «Transportation, storage and use of pesticides in the national economy» and State Sanitary Rules and Norms 8.8.1.2.3.4-000-2001 «Permissible doses, concentrations, quantities and levels of pesticides in agricultural raw materials, foodstuffs, air of the working area, atmospheric air, water of reservoirs, soil») are not able to regulate properly appropriate relations due to the obsolescence of their provisions. The main shortcomings of State Sanitary Rules 8.8.1.2.001-98 are determined: references in its content to already invalid regulations on labor protection, inconsistency with modern developments in the field of hygiene and toxicology of pesticides; unreasonably detailed regulation, which results in an excessive burden on business entities and leads to formalism in the implementation of the provisions of this document by employers; incorrect «rigid» regulation of the choice of personal protective equipment for work with pesticides. The directions of improvement of the legislation in the field of labor protection at performance of works with pesticides are defined. Among them: introduction of a risk-oriented approach to the organization of labor protection, including in the field of agriculture; borrowing positive international experience in the field of awareness of stakeholders on the hygienic regulation of pesticide use, the necessary safety measures for work with the use of such substances.

Double Block and Bleed is a term often used in the oil and gas industry to define a level of isolation sufficient to perform maintenance activities. The true definition relates to incumbent valves providing two proven levels of isolation against the outboard pressure to permit breaching of containment in the isolated pipe. This paper assesses how temporary isolation devices can provide equivalent isolation where incumbent valves do not exist at appropriate locations in the system. It reviews the different interpretations of Double Block and Bleed used within the industry and compares how different isolation devices are assessed in relation to the level of isolation they provide. It will reference several examples from around the world of where temporary isolation devices have been used to replace valves and perform repairs in trunk pipelines without depressurising the whole pipeline. It will also cover examples of isolating live process pipe to perform maintenance activities outside plant shutdown.

Hand-Arm-Vibrationseinwirkungen durch Einzelstöße sind ein Phänomen, das aus der Berufswelt bekannt und im Bereich der Hand-Arm-Vibrationen angesiedelt ist. Beispielsweise sind Arbeiten mit schlagenden Geräten wie Bolzensetzern und Druckluftnaglern mit stoßartigen Belastungen des Hand-Arm-Systems verbunden. Auch im Freizeitbereich lassen sich stoßartige Belastungen des Hand-Arm-Systems beobachten. Typische Freizeitaktivitäten, in denen stoßartige Belastungen auf das Hand-Arm-System erfolgen, sind z. B. Tennis, Golf oder Squash. Am Beispiel der Freizeitaktivität Golf untersuchte das Institut für Arbeitsschutz der Deutschen Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung (IFA) die Hand-Arm-Vibrationseinwirkungen durch Einzelstöße im Freizeitbereich.   Single-impact hand-arm vibration is a phenomenon well known in the world of work and in the area of hand-arm vibration. For example, work with beating devices such as bolt makers and pneumatic nailers are associated with shock loads on the hand-arm system. Even in the leisure sector can be observed shock loads of the hand-arm system. Typical recreational activities in which shock loads on the hand-arm system take place, for. As tennis, golf or squash. Using the example of leisure activity Golf, the Institute for Occupational Safety of the German Social Accident Insurance (IFA) examined the hand-arm vibration effects caused by individual impacts in the leisure sector.

Brane Action

We show that the super D3-brane action on AdS5×S5 background recently constructed by Metsaev and Tseytlin is exactly invariant under the combination of the electric–magnetic duality transformation of the world-volume gauge field and the SO(2) rotation of N=2 spinor coordinates. The action is shown to satisfy the Gaillard–Zumino duality condition, which is a necessary and sufficient condition for an action to be self-dual. Our proof needs no gauge fixing for the κ-symmetry.

The activity of waste collection is fundamental for preserving human health and the environment. As the world population increases, so does the waste production, consequently leading to a higher number of professionals involved in the collection activity. The objective of this study was to identify the main causes of accidents in urban waste collection and to verify if the implementation of containers would reduce the number of accidents in the sector. The causes were identified by analyzing accidents in two waste-collection companies for 4 years. Company A had 3,859 employees with 756 registered accident cases, while company B had 2020 workers with 189 cases. In total, it was analyzed 945 accident cases from urban waste collection. One municipality from company A which implemented the highest number of containers was studied thoroughly to verify if the implementation of containers reduces the number of accidents. The analysis shows that the household collection had the highest accident rate, with 65.61%. Sharp materials and falls were the leading causes of accidents, representing 53% in the company A and 62% in the company B. After containers implementation, the number of accidents caused by sharp materials and falls decreased from 37 without the container in 2014, to 18 with the container in 2015, and 11 with the container in 2016. It was concluded that the implementation of containers improves occupational safety and health during the urban cleaning process. Further studies should be conducted in order to improve the working conditions in the urban cleaning sector.
