    • Evaluation of OSH management processes in Polish enterprises
    dr Małgorzata Pęciłło, dr inż. Magdalena Galwas-Grzeszkiewicz

    The publication of the new ISO 45001 standard on occupational health and safety management systems (OSH MSs) drew the attention of enterprises to the health and safety management processes implemented in them and to the problem of assessing their functioning. The article presents the results of the assessment of nine selected OSH-related management processes carried out in 35 enterprises declaring activities adjusting the OSH MS to the requirements of the cited standard.

    Audio material facilitating the preparation to explore an unknown environment by persons with visual impairments
    dr inż. Rafał Młyński, dr inż. Emil Kozłowski

    In Poland, the number of people with visual impairment (damage and disease of the visual organ), including legal disabilities and those who declare that they have limitations in carrying out normal activities is 1/3 of the total population. It is well known that the hearing plays an important role in the functioning of people with visual impairment. At the same time, these people are often afraid of leaving their well-known environment, such as their homes. It would be important for people with visual impairment to become familiar with surrounding sounds that they might encounter in an external environment. During the research carried out in CIOP-PIB a set of sounds has been collected that can be used by people with visual impairment to familiarize with the environment to which they can potentially go. The Ambisonics technique was used and sounds were binaurally recorded with the use of microphones built into the headset. These solutions allowed to obtain the spatial impression associated with the correct direction of the sound. The audio material includes a number of situations in which a person with a visual impairment could potentially be found, recorded not only at home but also, for example, near junctions or in office buildings. Necessary data conversions were used to obtain files in a format that could be played back over headphones connected to a PC. The data obtained is intended for use in the software familiarizing people with visual impairment with potentially new situations for them.
