The article deals with theoretical approaches to shaping information and communication competence of future lecturers of professional education (occupational safety and health) during professional training in higher education institutions, in particular through the course on pedagogy of higher education. The concept of the information and communication competence is defined as a special quality, which requires future specialists to have relevant knowledge, abilities and skills to navigate in information space with the aim to obtain and apply information sources and information and communication technologies in future professional activities. It is found that vocational training of future lecturers of professional education (occupational safety and health) should be aimed at shaping information and communication competence. Therefore, it is important that innovative information and communication technologies should be incorporated in the educational process. It is clarified that the process of shaping information and communication competence of future lecturers of professional education (occupational safety and health) should be understood as a professional ability to navigate in information space in order to obtain (search, select and analyze) information sources and effectively apply information and communication technologies in future professional activities. It is specified that there are some effective ways to shape information and communication competence of future lecturers of professional education (occupational safety and health) through the course on pedagogy of higher education during professional training in higher education institutions. Thus, master students in professional education (015 Occupational safety and health) from Pereiaslav-Khmelnytskyi Hryhorii Skovoroda State Pedagogical University were involved in the research. It is proved that the effective method of shaping information and communication competence of future lecturers of professional education (occupational safety and health) is the project method, which combines theoretical knowledge and their practical application when solving professional problems.

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.

<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>

Safety And Health

Protection at work and work safety are the basic principles of the human right to work in a dignified way that guarantees protection of life and health at work. The scope of work of nurses/technicians includes diagnostic procedures, treatment and patient care. However, performance of these tasks can lead to health damage. Preventing and reducing injuries, occupational diseases, diseases related to the work as well as the preservation and improvement of health have a huge impact on reducing economic losses. Thus, a building of awareness is required so that the investment in occupational safety and health and safety at work will not be perceived as an unnecessary expense or a huge cost, but a long-term profitable investment. Additional costs and major expenses arise when the safety and health at work are not in proper focus. Employers and employees are the key factors, but the most important effort is to start raising awareness about the importance of protection and safety at work during the training for certain professions. Teachers play an important role in developing positive attitudes and understanding the importance of prevention of occupational accidents, occupational and related diseases. They greatly influence the maintenance of protection and safety from the earliest days to the end of service, including even the life expectancy of an individual person. If future young health care workers start with the acquisition of knowledge and skills of work safety at the beginning of their professional training, then safety and protection at work will become an integral part of the working process for them. They will develop a proper attitude toward the importance of occupational safety and health, which will guide them throughout their entire working life.

The development of noxological culture in students of pedagogical educational institutions is an urgent issue, as it is associated with the state of protection of the individual and society from internal and external threats in everyday life. The purpose of the study was to analyse the discipline “Occupational Safety and Health”, which plays an important role in understanding the potential hazards associated with human activities and forms risk-oriented thinking. The following methods were used in the research process to establish the relationship between noxological culture and the safety of future teachers: elementary-theoretical analysis and synthesis of factual material, axiomatic method, and generalisation. The concept of noxology and noxological culture of personality is considered. As a result of the study, it was determined that noxological culture constitutes an important structural component of life safety, and forms an integral part of the professional culture of every future specialist. The important role of the discipline “Occupational Safety and Health” in the development of noxological culture of students is determined. The components of noxological competence are considered. The important role of pedagogical higher education in the process of development of scientifically substantiated criteria of possible risk is identified. The study of the above discipline forms a system of knowledge regarding the nature of hazards, their features and ways to reduce risk and their occurrence

In terms of occupational safety and health (OSH) management system functioning at the enterprises of the Coal Business Unit of DTEK ENERGO LLC, a number of procedures and techniques have been developed and implemented for improving the OSH management system. However, rate of injuries and accidents is still fairly high at these enterprises. It is proposed to describe effectiveness of the OSH management system as a catastrophe of the “assembly” type. It is further proposed to describe effectiveness of the OSH functioning in mine by a potential function. To this end, probability of an accident (injury) is considered as a coordinate of the disaster, level of development of the coal mining technology means an external parameter, and the internal parameter is presented by the level of readiness of miners to perform processes and operations. With increase of internal control parameter characterizing level of the miners’ readiness to perform basic and auxiliary processes and operations, probability of accident and injury generally decreases; however, this curve is bifurcated by its nature. With increase of external control parameter – i.e. level of technology development - the curve narrows, while width of the catastrophe band decreases. At sufficiently high level of technology development, the system exists only in one state of equilibrium; but when passing a certain critical value, splitting and two alternative stable states appear. The area of the curve, which is limited by critical values of the level of miners’ readiness to perform technological processes and operations, determines an undesirable effect or a value reciprocal to the OSH effectiveness in the mine. At insufficiently high level of technology, a catastrophe (high probability of an accident) can happen both at insignificant and sufficiently high level of the miners’ readiness. In practice, in each mine, these parameters should be normalized and set according to the results of expert evaluation; and quantitative indicators of the level of miner’s readiness to perform processes and operations can be obtained during the psychophysical testing.

Abstract. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in order to provide injury surveillance for youth on farms in the U.S., partnered with the USDA to conduct the Childhood Agricultural Injury Survey (CAIS). CAIS data for all farm youth less than 20 years of age have been collected intermittently since 1998. CAIS data from 2012 indicated that an estimated 25.9 million youth lived on, worked on, or visited U.S. farms. These youth experienced almost 14,000 injuries while on the farm. The majority of these injuries occurred to males (7,290) and youth between the ages of 10 and 15 years (5,766). Approximately 20% (2,739) of the injuries were related to work being done on the farm. Youth living on the farm incurred 56% (7,784) of the injuries. An additional 5,771 injuries occurred to hired and visiting youth. Although youth injuries on farms have declined, the numbers are still unacceptably high. Additional research and detailed assessments of subsets of the youth population would help to better direct safety intervention programs and focus future research activities.
