 The problem of premature professional burnout among employees, including firefighters is of scientific and practical significance. The article describes the nature and types of professional stress, as well as activities of the Training Center of the Federal Fire Service in Chelyabinsk Region. It aims to identify guidelines in the normative labor functions of rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia and firefighters for training programs to prepare fire service employees for stressful activities. To achieve this goal, labor functions of rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia and firefighters were analyzed; training programs developed by the Training Center of the Federal Fire Service in Chelyabinsk region were assessed. The methods of comparative analysis and conversation with experts were used to identify pedagogical aspects of labor functions of fire service employees associated with their willingness to work under stress. The article established a relationship between the training programs and the development of readiness to perform labor functions under stress. The condition required for the training program to be efficient was determined. It involves attracting the psychological service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations to hold methodical meetings and seminars. The positive result of this training is an adequate response to stress factors. The research results may be used by teachers of training centers and universities and methodologists.

In recent years, the object of close attention of medicine and psychology has been the organization of the work of medical workers in connection with intense and often tense interpersonal communication, psychoemotional overloads leading to the onset of diseases, decreased ability to work and active period of life. The problem of professional stress, or «burnout syndrome» (BS) occupies an important place in the issue of the effective organization of work of such specialists [1]. The profession of a doctor requires physical health and psycho-emotional stability, because the daily work of medical workers is associated with the influence of complex stress factors, which leads to overload, rapid physiological and mental exhaustion.

Every year in Poland, on the inland waterways, accidents and incidents are registered by the Offshore Shipping Offices, the State Fire Service and the Police. Improving the level of security requires indepth analysis and drawing conclusions from emerging emergency situations. It is important to identify and systematize the threats occurring in inland waterway, which will allow for the selection of effective methods of counteracting them and increasing the level of safety on restricted waters. The aim of the work is to analyze the course of proceedings when conducting the analysis of identification of threats affecting the safety of ship operation and analysis of the source and consequences of accidents and incidents that took place on the inland waterway in the Vistula delta in recent years. The course of action in solving the research problem posed involves three stages: an analysis of the current state, hazard identification and model verification. Knowledge of the causes and consequences of accidents in inland navigation may be used to create safety standards and procedures, as well as to improve their functioning. It is very desirable to eliminate similar adverse events in the future. One of the methods al-lowing for the detection and proper verification of sources, course and consequences of events occurring in inland navigation is the analysis of sources of causes and consequences. It allows the identification of initiating agents and a further sequence of events, which in turn contributes to the improvement of the level of navigational safety.

Extreme professional working conditions of EMERCOM rescuers have a harmful effect to their health leading to high rate of digestive, respiratory, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular diseases. The morbidity frequency of these diseases at rescuers is higher, beyond all doubts, than at male population of the corresponding age, and it is connected with total years of occupational work and its intensity. This fact shows the necessity of establishing the system of medico-physiological support to rescuers of EMERCOM of Russia which must be seen as a significant part of their social protection and rehabilitation and must include six main components, i.e. consideration of conditions and character of activity in everyday and emergency situations; complex evaluation and monitoring of their health state; medical support during rescue work in emergency situations; psychological support; information and analytical maintenance of longstanding monitoring; development of hospital base and specialized medical assistance. An important component of the system of medico-physiological support to rescuers of EMERCOM of Russia is information and analytical maintenance of longstanding monitoring of professional load, health state and medico-social protection of the rescuers of EMERCOM of Russia. It was implemented by creating a Medical register of EMERCOM of Russia. We developed concepts, principals and organization methodical ground of multilevel system of medico-physiological support to rescuers of EMERCOM of Russia regarding their work in conditions of emergency situations. On the basis of professional work load studies, hygienic evaluation of work hardness and intensity, analysis of rescue work of State fire fighting services divisions of EMERCOM of Russia there were detected main stress factors, physiological and hygienic distinctive features of work.

Assumed driver braking performance in emergency situations is not consistent in the published literature. A 1955 study stated that in an emergency situation “it is suspected that drivers apply their brakes as hard as possible.” This idea differs from a 1984 report that states drivers will “modulate”their braking to maintain directional control. Thus, additional information is needed about driver braking performance when an unexpected object is in the roadway. In this research driver braking distances and decelerations to both unexpected and anticipated stops were measured. The study design allowed for differences in vehicle handling and driver capabilities associated with antilock braking systems (ABS), wet and dry pavement conditions, and the effects of roadway geometry. Vehicle speeds, braking distances, and deceleration profiles were determined for each braking maneuver. The research results show that ABS result in shorter braking distances by as much as 30 m at 90 km/h. These differences were most noticeable on wet pavements where ABS resulted in better control and shorter braking distances. Braking distances on horizontal curves were slightly longer than on tangent sections; however, they were not large enough to be of practical significance. Maximum deceleration during braking is independent of initial velocity, at least in the range of speeds tested. Differences were noted in individual driver performance in terms of maximum deceleration. Although maximum deceleration was equal to the pavement’s coefficient of friction for some drivers, the average maximum deceleration was about 75 percent of that level. Overall, drivers generated maximum decelerations from 6.9 to 9.1 m/s2. The equivalent constant deceleration also varied among drivers. Based on the 90-km/h data, 90 percent of all drivers without ABS chose equivalent constant decelerations of at least 3.4 m/s2 under wet conditions, and 90 percent of all drivers with ABS chose equivalent constant deceleration of at least 4.7 m/s2 on dry pavements.

Professional Stress and Health among Critical Care Nurses in SerbiaThe aim of this study was to identify and analyse professional stressors, evaluate the level of stress in nurses in Intensive Care Units (ICU), and assess the correlation between the perception of stress and psychological and somatic symptoms or diseases shown by nurses. The research, designed as a cross-sectional study, was carried out in the Intensive Care Units (ICU), in health centres in Serbia. The sample population encompassed 1000 nurses. Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS) was used as the research instrument. ENSS revealed a valid metric characteristic within our sample population. Nurses from ICUs rated situations involving physical and psychological working environments as the most stressful ones, whereas situations related to social working environment were described as less stressful; however, the differences in the perception of stressfulness of these environments were minor. Socio-demographic determinants of the participants (age, marital status and education level) significantly affected the perception of stress at work. Significant differences in the perception of stressfulness of particular stress factors were observed among nurses with respect to psychological and somatic symptoms (such as headache, insomnia, fatigue, despair, lower back pain, mood swings etc.) and certain diseases (such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes mellitus etc). In view of permanent escalation of professional stressors, creating a supportive working environment is essential for positive health outcomes, prevention of job-related diseases and better protection of already ill nurses.


An employer should keep on implementing potential new techniques to reach the business goals and to make the business run the profitable way. One of the technique that makes the employees to learn multiple skills with in the organisation is either with their own interest or by the training programs implemented by the management. Cross training is termed as preparing employees for multiple roles with in the same domain of their skills. Employee having specialised skill cannot function outside their confined roles. Employees may leave the organisation for different reasons internal issues, separation and emergency situations. If there are functions that are handled by one person with specified skills, flow of operations will get affected. In such situations cross training plays a major role bringing benefits to both for employees and also for employers. Cross training will enable the employer to consolidate the skills and abilities of each employee and plan for skill pairing such that the employee absenteeism, production down time etc can be handled easily. This paper explains the benefits that can be gained by an employer by distributing the questionnaire in a manufacturing industry and analyzing their responses
