- Occupational health and safety for centuries and decades (4)
The principles of occupational health and safety have existed since the beginning of mankind, because every action taken by a person carries the risk of a negative impact on his health and well-being, and the natural survival instinct prompts us to devise newer and newer ways to minimize this risk.
- The aviation industry faces a revolution (9)
According to experts, the aviation industry must opt for green technologies such as hydrogen or hybrid propulsion - otherwise it will not bear the burden of competition.

- "Lift your head" - European information campaign 2020-2022 (10)

The nature of the work is also a risk factor - if it is associated with the need to use considerable force to lift, carry and pull loads, with static loads, repetitive movements and a forced body position, there is a good chance that it will contribute to the creation and the development of musculoskeletal disorders.

- Systems enabling the identification of falls from a height (17)
The article discusses two types of systems developed at Central Institute for Labour Protection – National Research Institut, enabling the identification of a person's fall from a height. The operation of the first one is based on an accelerometric measuring system, an implemented hip belt, which is an element of the safety equipment against falls from a height. The operation of the second system is based on the analysis of the recorded video. The methods and results of calibration and verification tests of both designed systems, which were used to conduct preliminary tests, were presented. During these tests, the participant performed specific exercises: sitting down and a simulated fall. The comparison of the test results showed a high convergence between the values measured with the acceleration sensors and the values obtained on the basis of the image analysis. The described systems can therefore be used to identify a fall and as an initiating element for devices for dynamic shortening of the fall path, which will reduce the forces acting on a person during restraining his fall from a height.
