- Hydrogen – green gold Safe storage – opportunities and challenges
In this part of the hydrogen saga, we will present the topic of hydrogen storage, which poses a challenge for its further effective implementation in individual industries. Therefore, the question that we will look for the answer to together is: "Can (and if so), how can we safely store hydrogen?" HYDROGEN ECONOMY, HYDROGEN SOCIETY, HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS... Over the last few years, the first element of the periodic table has become the global slogan. This is because it has a chance to meet two main challenges in the global pursuit of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Hydrogen - preferably green, but also purple, turquoise or blue. Supporters of hydrogen can cite many examples for each of its varieties. advantages, as we could see in previous articles devoted to this topic. If H2 is such a desirable factor that can revolutionize the world economy and have a positive impact on climate change, why are we still not using it on a mass scale? - First, hydrogen can help solve the eternal problem of energy intermittency. Renewable sources cannot provide a constant supply of energy because the wind does not always blow and the sun does not always shine. By converting excess energy produced on windy or sunny days into hydrogen, the gas can provide a temporary energy store we can fall back on when renewable supply is low or demand is higher than usual. – Secondly, hydrogen can help decarbonize areas where electrification alone is not enough. Good examples are domestic heating and heavy industrial processes such as steel and cement production, which are energy intensive and therefore carbon intensive.

- Requirements of Directives 2006/42/EC (machinery) and 2009/104/EC (tools) (4)
The functioning of all industrial sectors is inextricably linked to the use of machines, devices and entire installations. Many technologically advanced areas require emphasis on safety issues, and their functioning includes ensuring safe and hygienic working conditions when using machines and other technical devices. A uniform system of technical EU regulations and New Approach directives regulate and ensure a consistent approach to the safety of devices and people operating them. The condition is their proper understanding and application. The regulations combine the requirements for manufacturers with those for operators. In addition to the device directives, there are so-called social directives, which apply independently, but at the same time as the New Approach directives.

- The use of the projective technique method "Chinese portrait" on the example of migration research
The aim of the text is to convey the experience of qualitative research in the area of migration using the projective technique of the "Chinese portrait" used so far mainly in marketing research and psychology. As part of a scientific project devoted to the perception of Polish and Ukrainian labor markets by Poles and Ukrainians, in order to obtain more detailed opinions of respondents, it was decided to use the "Chinese portrait" projection technique. This brought very interesting results that allowed to verify the information obtained in quantitative and qualitative research conducted using an in-depth interview questionnaire. At the same time, during the implementation of the study, several challenges emerged that required taking into account both the projection technique and data interpretation. The text encourages the use of projective techniques in social research. It also points out the main challenges associated with it and suggests how to deal with them. - The sense of workload of social workers during the pandemic
The time of the pandemic is a difficult time for everyone. This situation is also a significant burden for the staff of social welfare institutions. The fact that the institution was approached by people who had not previously been recipients of benefits, as well as the manifestation of negative behavior by clients, creates unfavorable conditions for effective work. In addition, organizational changes related to partly remote work, reduced effectiveness of aid work, lack of sufficient social support from superiors and co-workers reinforce the feeling of overwhelm and exhaustion. The article is empirical in nature. The aim of the research was to diagnose the sense of workload of social workers during the pandemic. The research was conducted in 2021 on a sample of 129 social workers from all over Poland. The selection of the group for the research was purposeful, and the criterion adopted was employment as a social worker in a social assistance centre. The research method was the diagnostic survey method. The results of the research showed that most social workers worked in hybrid mode during the epidemic. They provided psychological support to those in need, coordinated the delivery of food to people in quarantine, or delivered it personally. An important area of work was the support of the elderly. The research results indicate that the vast majority of social workers feel extremely burdened by the fact that social welfare clients try to manipulate them and that they come to the center under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicants. A very significant burden is the fact that the respondents deal with too many customers. For the vast majority of social workers, it is extremely burdensome to achieve remuneration for work that is disproportionate to the workload.

- New obligation - hunters must undergo periodic examinations (1)
The deadline for the submission of medical and psychological certificates by hunters with a firearms license soon expires. Until now, such examinations had to be performed only once, therefore doctors authorized to issue relevant certificates can expect that the number of people interested in obtaining them will increase. - Chemical substances in the work environment - there will be an amendment to the regulation (3)
Due to the fact that on July 1, 2020, the State Sanitary Inspection of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration was liquidated, and its tasks were taken over by the State Sanitary Inspection, it is necessary to amend the regulation on substances chemicals, their mixtures, agents or technological processes having a carcinogenic or mutagenic effect in the work environment. Check what is included in the draft amendment.

A program supporting the assessment of noise exposure at the workplace, divided into activities
(Note: The program performs calculations in accordance with the standards applicable in the European Union)
The program allows you to assess noise exposure and provides noise level and/or exposure time reduction values for individual activities when the exposure limit value is exceeded. This is a trial version (it is made available for testing) and I will be grateful for any comments about the shortcomings noticed, and suggestions for what functions the software can be supplemented with in the next version.
The program is quite simple to use and (at least it seems to me) quite intuitive. However, if some issues are not clear, please send information to the e-mail address:
