The article presents the results of the generalization of expert practice in determining the market value of personal protective equipment for servicemen, namely, flak jackets of different protection classes. The need to calculate the market value of military property is a key task in determining the material damage caused to the state, as a result of negligence towards the entrusted military property or its intentional damage or theft, as well as the destruction during a combat engagement with the enemy. In the course of consideration of this topic, the authors made a compact description of the design of flak jackets on the main types, different classes of protection, with examples of typical samples for each type of personal protective equipment. The basic classifiers used by manufacturers of flak jackets all over the world are given. The possible ways of selection of analogue for the assessed personal protective equipment, price information in the domestic market of Ukraine is absent, but a conditional comparison of protection classes relative to the national classifier is given. On the example of the described classification systems the substantiation of impossibility from the technical point of view, absolute comparison of flak jackets protection classes of different manufacturers is given. In addition, there is a brief description of the most common synthetic materials that are used in the manufacture of standard flak jackets (outer covers, inner frame, fillers and additional ballistic packages) with the indication of their basic physical properties and description of the features in different environmental conditions (humidity temperature, intensity of ultraviolet exposure). Taking into account the analysis of the information from open sources, as well as the information provided by national manufacturers, it is necessary bear in mind the degree of wear and tear of a particular product depending on the actual period of operation of the investigated object in specific operating conditions – in the area of combat or in the rear. There is also a variant of possible definition of the market value of personal protection equipment, the appointed resource of which has expired, is also given, however they are used not by armies, but by individuals for their intended purpose.

Background: In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is very important to reduce the risk of transmitting infectious diseases to medical personnel because it can prevent contact with pathogens. This shows that midwives as first-line managers of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum cases must be vigilant by wearing complete Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) so that there is no transmission of the virus from the patient to the midwife. Objective: To determine the analysis of midwives' practices in using PPE when assisting labor during the COVID-19 pandemic at the Banten Regional General Hospital 2020-2021. Methodology: A quantitative analytic study using a cross sectional approach. The sample in this study was 102 respondents with purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using SPSS with Chi Square, which previously tested the validity and reliability. Results: The use of PPE in midwives in Banten Hospital obtained an average value of 84.3. Based on age, the average value was 53.9. Based on the length of service, the average score was 96.1. Based on education, the average score is 55.9. The results of the chi-square test showed that all independent variables had no relationship with the use of PPE including knowledge (p = 0.323), attitude (p = 0.665), availability of PPE (p = 0.740), and supervision (p = 0.603). Conclusions and Suggestions: The use of PPE in midwives has no relationship with knowledge, attitudes, availability of PPE and supervision. There is a need for socialization about the importance of using PPE to midwives in order to maintain the quality of expected care services. There is a need for an K3 unit in Banten Hospital which is one of the authorities. There needs to be special attention from the Hospital Management regarding the supervision of the use of PPE in midwives.

Relevance. Human industrial and economic activities and the related problem of emergency situations over the past decades require the new generation of skin personal protective equipment (PPE) with improved protective and ergonomic characteristics.Intention – To present technical and ergonomic characteristics of protective materials and modern skin PPE developed at the Kazan Chemical Research University.Methodology. Technical and ergonomic characteristics of universal protective insulating material LTL-1-2 and chemical protective fabrics FCM-P and TL-3 developed by employees the Kazan Chemical Research University are presented.Results and Discussion. According to the principle of protective action and the type of materials they are made of, there are filtering or insulating types of skin PPE. Insulating PPE is made of airtight materials (rubberized fabrics, polymer films) with extremely slow penetration of toxic and aggressive substances (both gaseous and liquid phases). Filtering PPE helps against chemical hazards (vapors, gases, fine aerosols and various types of dust). Air and vapor permeable materials are used for manufacturing special clothes against physical hazards (open flames, high-energy electromagnetic radiation, heat flows, etc.). Filtering PPE is normally used for routine operations in industries where exposure to harmful and dangerous factors is possible, or for accidents in areas that exclude exposure to the liquid phase. A fundamentally new combination type of skin PPE has protective properties of both categories.Conclusion. Modern protective materials and PPE made of these materials provide high protection, from a technical and ergonomics point of view, against various hazards for personnel of chemically hazardous industrial facilities.

The Impact

The pandemic has been afflicting the planet for over a year and from the occupational point of view, healthcare workers have recorded a substantial increase in working hours. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE), necessary to keep safe from COVID-19 increases the chances of overheating, especially during the summer seasons which, due to climate change, are becoming increasingly warm and prolonged. A web survey was carried out in Italy within the WORKLIMATE project during the summer and early autumn 2020. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to evaluate differences between groups. 191 questionnaires were collected (hospital doctor 38.2%, nurses 33.5%, other healthcare professionals 28.3%). The impact of PPE on the thermal stress perception declared by the interviewees was very high on the body areas directly covered by these devices (78% of workers). Workers who used masks for more than 4 h per day perceived PPE as more uncomfortable (p < 0.001) compared to the others and reported a greater productivity loss (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the study highlighted a high perception of thermal stress among healthcare workers that worn COVID-19-PPE and this enhances the need for appropriate heat health warning systems and response measures addressed to the occupational sector.

A POLIFONIA DO USO DOS EQUIPAMENTOS DE PROTEÇÃO INDIVIDUAL DO COLETOR DE LIXO DOMICILIAR DE MACAPÁ-AP  THE POLYPHONY OF THE USE OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT OF THE HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE COLLECTOR OF MACAPÁ-AP Hênyo Hytallus Andrade* RESUMO: O artigo analisa os discursos polifônicos que se imbricam ou se sobrepõem ao se tratar do uso dos equipamentos de proteção individual para a saúde e segurança laboral. Assim, essas vozes se apresentam sob o ponto de vista do discurso da legislação, dos trabalhadores coletores de lixo domiciliar de Macapá e da empresa de limpeza urbana. Utilizou-se um método dedutivo e pesquisas em documentos históricos e bibliográficos para traçar o embasamento teórico, bem como a análise do discurso com base nas concepções polifônicas de Mikhail Bakthin. Também foi necessária a pesquisa de campo na empresa de limpeza urbana de Macapá, com aplicação de questionários com perguntas fechadas para um quantitativo de 53 obreiros, e perguntas abertas para a empresa. A partir da análise polifônica das vozes envolvidas no presente estudo, infere-se que nem sempre tais vozes defendem um único ponto de vista, podendo conflitar ou até mesmo auxiliar na (re)invenção de um discurso de uso dos Equipamentos de Proteção Individual (EPI) que não reflete a real preocupação com os princípios constitucionais da dignidade da pessoa humana e do valor social do trabalho, mas, porém, o interesse capitalista em manter a produtividade. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Equipamentos de Proteção Individual (EPI). Saúde e Segurança Laboral. Trabalhador Coletor de Lixo Domiciliar. Polifonia. ABSTRACT: This article analyzes the polyphonic discourses that imbricate or overlap, when it is approached the use of personal protective equipment for health and labor safety. So, these voices are presented from the point of view of the discourse of legislation, of the household garbage collection workers from Macapa, and of the urban cleaning company. We used a deductive method and researches on historical and bibliographical documents to outline the theoretical foundation, as well as discourse analysis based on Mikhail Bakhtin’s polyphonic conceptions. Fieldwork in the urban cleaning company from Macapa, with questionnaires with closed questions for a quantitative staff of 53 workers, and open questions for the company was also required. From the polyphonic analysis of the voices involved in this study, it appears that not always such voices advocate a single point of view, and they may conflict or even assist in the (re)invention of a discourse for the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that does not reflect the real concern with the constitutional principles of human dignity and social value of work, but yet, the capitalist interest in maintaining productivity. KEYWORDS: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
