- New technologies in the design of personal protective equipment for head protection (20)
Very often during work or while playing sports a person is exposed to many threats, among which the most dangerous are head injuries. We are not able to eliminate them completely, various protection measures are used. Their design and construction is constantly changing and evolving, and the protective parameters are closely matched to the anticipated threats. New materials and technical solutions are used in the construction of helmets, which are aimed at increasing human safety and comfort of use, as well as reducing the weight of the helmet and increasing its functionality. Such goals can be achieved mainly thanks to the use of modern software of amortization materials with specially selected damping characteristics. The article presents modern design methods and computer simulations of behavior, depreciation materials with specially selected strength - deformation characteristics, providing both protective and functional properties.
- Assessment of tonal noise in the work environment (24)
Noise as a stressor can contribute to the development of various types of diseases, cause distraction, hinder work and reduce employee productivity. Elements of the technical equipment of the building, as well as office equipment can emit clear tonal sounds. The widespread occurrence of these devices in the work environment potentially translates into several hundred thousand jobs in Poland. Numerous literature reports indicate that the nuisance of tonal noise is subjectively assessed to be greater than that of broadband noise. The assessment of the working environment lacks criteria for tonal noise both indoors (building standards) and in terms of noise at workplaces (assessment of nuisance). The article reviews existing regulations, analyzes literature data and gives the results of research conducted at CIOP-PIB in the field of tonal noise nuisance.
