| | Individual protective gear – facilities, intended for protection of cutaneous coverings and respiratory organs against influence of strongly acting poisonous substances and other harmful impurities in air. Such facilities are divided into gear for protecting the respiratory organs and means for protecting the skin. Gas masks, respirators and bulky dressings belong to gear for protecting the respiratory organs and safety suits belong to means for protecting the skin. Selection of protection devices is done by taking their purpose and protective properties, specific usage conditions and nature of infection into consideration.
Provision of priority of life and health of workers is prime direction of state policy in the field of labor safety. It is realized, particularly, by outlining the obligations of employer by the government to provide protective clothing, protective boots and other individual protective gear and gear for collective safety.
Gear for collective safety – facilities, used for prevention or reduction of affect of occupational hazards and also for protection against contamination.
Gear for collective protection is subdivided into facilities for normalization of air and illumination of industrial premises and workplaces; and into facilities for protection against the affects of occupational hazards.
Safety signs, photo-luminescent evacuation systems, tapes and anti-skid coatings, road safety facilities and safety mirrors belong to facilities for collective safety.
Individual protective gear – protective clothing (overalls), protective boots and other means, used by the worker for prevention or reduction of affects of occupational factors and also for protection against contamination. Individual protective gear is used in cases, when operational safety cannot be ensured by design of equipment, organization of manufacturing processes, architectural-planning decisions and facilities for collective safety.
Depending on field of application, protective clothing (overalls), protective boots and individual protective gear are divided into classes:
* Protective clothing (overalls);
* Protective boots;
* Protective devices:
* Hands, head, face and eyes;
* Respiratory organs and hearing organs;
* From falling from a height and other safety devices;
* Dermatological; complex.
Including helmets, dielectric mats, gas masks, respirators, gloves, boots, shoes, safety facilities from falling and other individual protective gear.
Most powerful Solar storm since 1989 hit the Earth at 1:13 a.m. EST on Wednesday, disruptions some airline communications, but causing little damage otherwise.
Last week, a smaller solar storm passed within safe distance from the Earth. The solar hurricanes were caused by solar eruptions, which formed giant hot clouds (several times the size of Earth) of charged particles traveling in solar system at millions of miles per hour. |
