Despite the constantly growing level of mechanization and automation of labor in industry and transport, the share of manual labor remains very significant in a number of the technological processes. Increased physical activity during manual labor often leads to non-compliance by the employee with labor safety requirements — because of the desire to avoid additional actions. In this regard, mandatory control by the manager is required, who himself must understand and comply with all the safety rules. Personal qualities of the middle managers have a significant impact on the efficiency of their activities in matters of occupational safety and health. In addition to constant monitoring of the actions of subordinates, the leader by personal example must confirm the need for strict compliance with safety requirements. First of all, the manager himself must maintain order at his workplace, comply with the internal labor regulations, be disciplined and competent in professional work matters. The manager should pay special attention to the state of the material and technical base of the unit, and take measures to improve it, including to minimize injuries when working with a faulty tool. Only by fulfilling all the listed requirements, the manager will have authority in the work collective, sufficient to implement his orders to comply with occupational safety requirements and ensure a high level of labor safety in the unit, which not everyone is capable of. To determine the required personal qualities of the leader, the study was carried out using the method of ranks based on positive experience and statistics of the work of linear track sections.

Oriented Approach

The article is devoted to the analysis of the state of introducing a risk-oriented approach in the field of labor protection at the legislative level in Ukraine. It has been found that the main reason for the high level of production injuries and occupational diseases is bases the existing normative acts on labor protection on the «jet principle». The importance of introducing a risk-oriented approach to the organization of labor protection in Ukraine is emphasized as an objective need to withstand labor protection in our country for a qualitatively new level, and the need to comply with international standards in the field of security and health of employees. As a result of the analysis of prospective legislation on occupational safety, in particular the draft Law of Ukraine «On Safety and Health of Workers at Work», concludes on the election of the correct vector of renewal of labor protection legislation in terms of introducing a risk-oriented approach in the field of occupational safety. The draft Law of Ukraine «On Security and Health of Workers at Work» in general meets international standards in the field of occupational safety and allows to solve the main problems in terms of motivation of employers and employees to comply with the legislation on labor protection. This may contribute to the draft laws: about improvement of the settlement of employers' responsibility for violating the requirements of labor protection legislation; About the size and ways of forming the amount of financing of labor protection due to a preliminary assessment and analysis of industrial risks. An analyzed draft law in case of its adoption can reduce bureaucratic pressure on employers and give it a larger freedom to organize the protection of labor at the level of an entity, promptly responding to changes in production processes and economic conditions.

Objective The purpose of this study is to determine attitudes of doctors of chiropractic regarding the importance of staff training in specific skill areas to inform the curriculum management process of a chiropractic technology program. Methods A survey was distributed to registrants of a chiropractic homecoming event. On a 5-point Likert scale, respondents were asked to rate the degree of importance that staff members be trained in specific skills. Descriptive statistics were derived, and a 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test differences between groups based on years in practice and level of staff training. Results Doctors place a high level of importance on oral communication skills and low importance on nutrition and physical examinations. Comparing groups based on years in practice revealed differences in the areas of passive physiotherapies (F = 3.61, p = .015), legal issues/regulations (F = 3.01, p = .032), occupational safety and health regulation (F = 4.27, p = .006), and marketing (F = 2.67, p = .049). Comparing groups based on level of staff training revealed differences in the areas of occupational safety and health regulations (F = 4.56, p = .005) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (F = 4.91, p = .003). Conclusion With regard to their assistants, doctors of chiropractic tend to place high importance on office skills requiring effective communication and place less importance on clinical skills such as physical examinations and physiotherapy.

The informal non-food manufacturing sector is an engine of growth and development in both developed and developing countries. The sector is unregulated and unregistered in official government statistics. However this particular sector is faced with occupational safety and health hazards without preventive measures. The study assessed knowledge and attitudes on practices of occupational safety and health in the informal non-food manufacturing sector in Kampala City, Uganda. It adopted across sectional survey design that involved both qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. A total of 424 firms were sampled from the 6 clusters of the informal sector. Respondents were moderately knowledgeable on hazards with 39.7% compared to 25.5% who reported high level of exposure. Overall the knowledge on occupational safety and health hazards was inadequate while attitude especially on the use of PPE was poor. There was a high level on knowledge towards hazard control measures by complying with the safety measures (PPE 52.6% and good housekeeping 54.4%) although no significant difference was observed in their adherence to control measures. Attitude towards the use of control measures was found to moderate with PPE 62.9% and good housekeeping 61.1% Creation of awareness, training, and application of Occupational Safety and Health Regulations, inspection and enforcement by the relevant regulatory agency as well as proactive multi-media strategies to improve the situation is recommended.

Determination Of Nickel

Nickel due to its physicochemical properties is used to produce high strength, corrosion resistant, temperature resi-stant, high resistance and acid resistant alloys. Nickel in the form of fine powder can induce an allergic response when in contact with the skin, carcinogenic properties have been proven with long-term exposure to nickel dust. According to the proposed directive of the European Parliament No. 2020/0262, a value of maximum allowable concentration (MAC) in a workplace air in Poland for the inhalable fraction should be at 0.05 mg/m3 and for the respirable fraction at 0.01 mg/m3 (2020/0262/COD). The aim of this study was to develop a method for determining nickel in the range of 1/10 ÷ 2 of the MAC. The method is based on gathering nickel aerosol and its compounds contained in the air on a filter, filter mineralization in nitric acid(V) and hydrochloric acid at elevated temperature then determination of nickel content in the sample using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) with flame atomization. The method for the determination of nickel is presented in the form of an analytical procedure, which is included in the appendix. This article discusses the problems of occupational safety and health, which are covered by health sciences and environmental engineering.

Methodological Approaches

Investment construction projects are implemented under constant changes, which forces managers to assess the uncertainty and risks they generate, to manage changes in their own activities and activities of construction organizations. The article describes the main methodological approaches to the development of a model of risks of investment construction projects in the field of labor safety and protection. The approach is based on the method of quantitative assessment depending on the level of processes being evaluated and data characterizing these processes. The proposed concept will make it possible to develop an algorithm and a computational and analytical model for the subsequent automation of the process of quantitative assessment of risks and the dynamics of their change on the basis of the information-digital system. For example, the Corporate Occupational Safety Management System, developed and used by NIPIGAZ JSC to manage occupational safety processes, ensure industrial and fire safety, environmental protection, will make it possible to put into practice the methods of predictive and operational risk analysis, increasing the efficiency of the investment construction project.

<p>The study determined the levels of knowledge, awareness, and compliance of engineers and workers with respect to the required occupational safety and health (OSH) program of construction companies contracted by educational institutions in Davao City. Employing a descriptive correlation approach, this investigation ascertained the relationship between the levels of safety awareness and compliance of the respondents for such program as advocated by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). Through a researcher- made questionnaire (α = 0.957) and basic descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (Pearson r) statistics, findings reveal that the high level of knowledge is attributed to the observance of government training and regulations on safety through the DOLE in cooperation with DPWH, on the construction sites. Furthermore, there is a high level of awareness among engineers and workers regarding the implementation of safety and health program of the contractors hired by the educational institutions. A very high compliance level for engineer respondents implies that there is a strong commitment to obey what is mandated by DOLE Order 13 regarding safety and health program even if the worker respondents are only perceived to abide by the rules and regulations set by the company vis-á-vis safety and health program. Results also uphold that the level of safety awareness is a factor that is strongly associated with the level of safety compliance.</p>
