Purpose: The choice of preventive measures and labour protection equipment should be justified taking into account the occupational risk. For objective reasons, existing approaches do not provide an opportunity to justify the choice of the necessary measures, which best reduce the occupational risk level. Consequently, an effective methodological approach to justify preventive measures is required, since the level of risk in mining enterprises is still high, especially in developing countries and countries with weak economies. The current research is devoted to solving this urgent scientific problem. Design/methodology/approach: Construction of mathematical models based on accumulated statistical data on the values of production factors using polynomial regression, which is justified by the simplicity of computational algorithms and the clarity of the results obtained. Findings: On the example of the Ukrainian mining industry, it was found that to reduce occupational risk; the most effective is to change the operating mode of the equipment and rational planning of working hours, but not measures to reduce the dust concentration. Research limitations/implications: The study is focused on the mining industry; a methodological approach and a mathematical model are proposed for specific working conditions at Ukrainian mining industry. Practical implications: The proposed approach makes it possible, based on statistical data, to quickly and reliably select the most effective measures to reduce the industrial risk level. Originality/value: A feature of the proposed approach to reducing industrial risk is a comprehensive accounting of data on factors affecting occupational risk, the construction of mathematical models and the use of modelling results when planning measures to improve working conditions.

The profession of a seller (especially in small grocery stores) does not enjoy a social respect. The reasons for this are, above all, low requirements, low salary and difficult working conditions. In addition, too little attention is paid in the literature to this profession from the point of view of safety and hazards at work. However, the problem of working conditions in the position of a salesman is an important issue concerning a very large number of people. The paper deals with this difficult topic by describing selected methods of ergonomic analysis and using them to assess occupational risk at the seller's workplace. In the paper, the results of the Ergonomic Checkpoint List, as well as the results of questionnaire surveys are presented. All the results are related to the possibility of proper identification and the probability of hazards occurrence in the position of a seller.

In accordance with the applicable law, an employer cares for safe and hygienic working conditions. An occupational risk analysis isone of the elements determining the level of safety. The risks that may significantly contribute to the damage are identified through the activities related to the risk assessment. The role of an employer is to counteract these threats. The COVID-19 pandemic has had many negative consequences for the functioning of enterprises and the health and safety at work. The subject of the paper is to update the occupational risk among selected employees after the COVID-19 pandemic. Depending on the work environment, an employee is exposed to various types of risks that significantly affect not only health and safety, but also comfort, quality and work efficiency. COVID-19 causes various negative consequences, so it is important for the employer to monitor the employee's return process after the infection for a long time (approximately 2 months). Adjusting working conditions and temporarily reducing work intensity (expectations and work results) relatively increase the possibility of recovery and a faster return to full productivity.

Occupational risk is closely related to work environment. For the same positions, but in different working conditions threats and level of risk can be different. For this also estimating the degree of damage hazard the largest possible should be adopted effects. However, when estimating probability occurrence of threats should include, among others: working conditions, events from the past, or possible employee behavior (in particular those that may be the cause of an accident at work). The source of the above information may be data from statistics or observations of work stations. The article presents the assessment of occupational risk at the position of the laser cutter operator, which was carried out using the Job Safety Analysis (JSA) method. According to this method, occupational risk is determined on the basis of two parameters, i.e.: consequences of C and probability of consequences P. In turn, the probability of consequences is the sum of three factors: frequency of hazard F, probability of event O and avoidability or damage limitation A.

Purpose: Elaborate stochastic models to comprehensive evaluation of occupational risks in “man - machine - environment” systems taking into account the random and dynamic nature of the impact on the employee of negative factors over time. Design/methodology/approach: Within study, the methods of probability theory and the theory of Markov processes - to find the limit distribution of the random process of dynamic impact on the employee of negative factors over time and obtain main rates against which the level of occupational risks within the "man - machine - environment" systems can be comprehensively evaluated; Erlang phases method, Laplace transform, difference equations theory, method of mathematical induction - to elaborate a method of analytical solution of the appropriate limit task for a system of differential equations in partial derivatives and appropriate limit conditions were used. Findings: A system of differential equations in partial derivatives and relevant limit conditions is derived, which allowed to identify the following main rates for comprehensive evaluation of occupational risks in systems "man - machine - environment": probability of excess the limit of the employee's accumulation of negative impact of the harmful production factor; probability of the employee’s injury of varying severity in a random time. An method to the solution the limit task for a system of differential equations, which allows to provide a lower bounds of the probability of a certain occupational danger occurrence was elaborated. Research limitations/implications: The elaborated approach to injury risk evaluation is designed to predict cases of non-severe injuries. At the same time, this approach allows to consider more severe cases too, but in this case the task will be more difficult. Practical implications: The use of the elaborated models allows to apply a systematic approach to the evaluation of occupational risks in enterprises and to increase the objectivity of the evaluation results by taking into account the real characteristics of the impact of negative factors on the employee over time. Originality/value: For the first time, a special subclass of Markov processes - Markov drift processes was proposed and substantiated for use to comprehensive evaluation of occupational risks in “man - machine - environment” systems.

Purpose: Develop a system of automated occupational health and safety management to improve the procedure for minimizing occupational risks and ensure comprehensive protection of employees from the impacts of negative factors of the systems "man - machine - environment". Design/methodology/approach: The following set of scientific methods was used in the study: analysis of normative-legal documents and scientific-technical literature in the field of building and functioning of occupational safety and health management systems, methods of system analysis, simulation methods, namely discrete-event simulation (DES) of random and dynamic processes, methods of decision theory and data mining. Findings: Based on the results of the research, a system of automated occupational health and safety management, which due to the connection the functionally independent elements (according to a certain scheme) allows to provide comprehensive protection of employees from the impacts of negative factors of the system "man - machine - environment" and reduce occupational injuries and diseases, was developed. This is done by constant monitoring and promt correcting of parameters of impact on the employee of the specified factors. The developed system was implemented in the occupational health and safety management system of the industrial enterprise "Stalkanat-Silur" (Odessa, Ukraine), resulting in reducing the number of accidents, in particular, in dangerous areas of production by 33.3%, increasing the economic efficiency of the enterprise through increasing the level of productivity by 5% and reducing in the number of social insurance payments by 11%. Research limitations/implications: The developed system can be implemented both within separate industrial premises and in the enterprise as a whole, but the number of its elements could be changed (increase / decrease) depending on the number of jobs and dangerous areas that need control. Practical implications: The implementation of the proposed system allows to increase the level of economic efficiency of the enterprise by increasing the level of labor productivity due to reducing the negative impact on the employee of harmful factors and compliance with rational mode of work and rest in each workplace, as well as by reducing the number of social insurance payments due to reducing the occupational injuries and diseases. Originality/value: For the first time the system of automated occupational health and safety, which, in contrast to existing automated occupational risk minimization systems and traditional occupational health and safety management systems, provides comprehensive protection of employees from the the impacts negative factors of the system "man - machine - environment", by constant monitoring the parameters of such impact and their prompt correction in case of deviation of the specified parameters from the set criteria, was developed and proposed for use at enterprises, institutions and organizations.

Increased efficiency of production and improved quality have contributed to the development of ultrasonic technological applications, in which low frequency ultrasounds are generated to operate, accelerate as well as to facilitate technological processes. Technological ultrasonic devices (i.e. sources of ultrasonic noise in the work environment, e.g. ultrasonic washers, ultrasonic welding machines) have relatively high power and their nominal frequencies are in the range from 18 kHz to 40 kHz. In Poland, ultrasonic noise (defined as noise containing high audible and low ultrasonic frequencies from 10 kHz to 40 kHz) is included in the list of factors harmful to health in the work environment and therefore the admissible values of ultrasonic noise in the workplaces are established. The admissible values of ultrasonic noise and the new ultrasonic noise measurement method make it possible to perform the assessment of occupational risk related to ultrasonic noise. According to this method, the scope of the measurements includes the determination of the equivalent sound pressure levels in the 1/3 octave bands with the centre frequencies from 10 kHz to 40 kHz. This paper presents the description of both, i.e. the method for ultrasonic noise measurements and the method of the assessment of occupational risk related to ultrasonic noise. The examples of the results of the assessment of occupational risk related to exposure to ultrasonic noise are also discussed.

Artykuł analizuje wyniki ankiety, przeprowadzonej wśród górników, pracowników oddziału odstawy głównej w zakresie ich skłonności do podejmowania ryzyka. Wytypowana grupa badawcza stanowiła 35% stanu osobowego oddziału. Ryzykowne zachowania pracowników są wpisane w codzienność wykonywanych zadań, które to mogą prowadzić do zdarzeń niebezpiecznych. Na podstawie odpowiednich kwestionariuszy i ankiet można określić skłonność osób do podejmowania ryzyka oraz ich wpływu na bezpieczeństwo pracy. Skłonność do zachowań ryzykownych, psycholodzy lokalizują zazwyczaj w strukturze osobowości, kiedy to dane osoby częściej niż inne podejmują tego rodzaju zachowania. Pracownik, według psychologów, szacuje ryzyko jakie wiąże się z podjęciem działania ryzykownego i prawdopodobieństwo wystąpienia straty czy korzyści. Oprócz tego w trakcie podejmowania decyzji analizuje wszelką wiedzę jaką ma na temat powstałego ryzyka. Ankieta wykorzystuje formę pytań zamkniętych z możliwością odpowiedzi TAK lub NIE.

The article analyzes the results of a survey carried out among miners, employees of the main depot branch in terms of their propensity to take risks. The selected research group accounted for 35% of the branch’s staff. Risky behaviours of employees are inscribed in the daily routine of their tasks, which may lead to dangerous events. The propensity of people to take risks and their impact on work safety can be determined on the basis of appropriate questionnaires and surveys. Psychologists tend to locate the propensity for risky behaviours in the personality structure, where the persons concerned are more likely than others to undertake such behaviour. The employee, according to psychologists, estimates the risk involved in taking risky action and the probability of loss or benefit. In addition, he analyses all his knowledge of the risks involved in making decisions. The questionnaire uses the form of closed questions with the possibility of answering YES or NO.

Purpose: Elaborate and substantiate stochastic models of occupational risk evaluation for application in the occupation health and safety. Design/methodology/approach: Analysis of scientific and technical literature and regulatory framework for risk evaluation in the occupation health and safety; methods of probability theory, theory of Markov processes; methods of restoration theory. Findings: A system of differential equations and limit conditions for finding the limit distribution of probabilities of a random process of occupational dangers is derived. Based on the results of solving the limit value task, expressions to determine a number of key indicators by which the level of occupational risk can be evaluated are obtained. Research limitations/implications: The proposed approach aims to evaluation the risk associated with the impact on the employee of harmful factors, but can also be used to evaluate the injury risk. But in this case the received limit value task will be much more difficult. Practical implications: The application of the proposed approach allows to increase the level of occupational safety by taking into account the stochastic characteristics of the negative factors impact on the employee during occupational risks evaluating, as well as the possibility of setting such values of controllable parameters that will allow with a certain probability to ensure not to exceed the level of impact accumulation in the employee of the consequences of these factors. Originality/value: Stochastic models of occupational risk evaluation based on the application of Markov drift processes for the modeling the hybrid nature of the negative factors impact on the employee, which occurs within the real systems "man - technical system - production environment" were elaborated and substantiated for the first time.

Natryskiwanie cieplne jest jedną z technik wytwarzania powłok z różnych materiałów na podłożach z różnych materiałów (głównie metalowych). Podczas realizacji tego procesu na stanowisku pracy obecnych jest wiele zagrożeń. Ryzyko zawodowe wynika z tych zagrożeń, a te zależą w dużej mierze od metody natryskiwania cieplnego, używanych materiałów podstawowych oraz materiałów dodatkowych, itp. W zależności od metody natryskiwania cieplnego, operator procesu ma do czynienia z różnego rodzaju zagrożeniami. Część z tych zagrożeń obecna jest podczas natryskiwania cieplnego niezależnie od wybranej metody. Istnieją jednak zagrożenia, które mają miejsce przy tylko niektórych metodach natryskiwania cieplnego. W związku z obecnością zagrożeń realizacja procesu natryskiwania cieplnego związana jest z pewnym ryzykiem, którego analiza prowadzi do jego oszacowania w zależności od okoliczności. Okolicznością taką może być na przykład wprowadzenie nowej metody natryskiwania cieplnego. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono opracowanie ryzyka zawodowego na przykładzie metody HVOF (High Velocity Oxy Fuel). Porównano ryzyko zawodowe operatora procesu natryskiwania cieplnego metodą HVOF z ryzykiem zawodowym operatora procesu natryskiwania cieplnego metodą HVOF z chłodzeniem mikrostrumieniowym.

Thermal spraying is one of the techniques for producing coatings of various materials on substrates of various materials (mainly metal). Many threats are present in the workplace during this process. Occupational risk results from these threats and these depend largely on the method of thermal spraying, used primary materials and auxiliary materials. Depending on the method of thermal spraying, the process operator has to deal with various types of hazards. Some of these hazards are present during thermal spraying regardless of the method chosen. However, there are risks that occur only with some methods of thermal spraying. Due to the presence of hazards, the implementation of the thermal spraying process is associated with a certain risk, the analysis of which leads to its estimation depending on the circumstances. Such a situation may be the introduction of a new method of thermal spraying. This article presents the development of occupational risk using the HVOF (High Velocity Oxy Fuel) method. The occupational risk of the HVOF spraying operator with the occupational risk of the HVOF spraying process operator with micro-jet cooling were compared.
