The assessment of the risk of workers' exposure to ultraviolet radiation with the use of a mobile measuring system
Andrzej Pawlak

The article presents a developed model mobile measurement system developed at the Central Institute for Labour Protection – National Research Institute (CIOP-PIB) for assessing the risk of workers' exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation at workstations. Its construction and the application used to control the measurement process are discussed. The methodology of UV radiation research at workstations was briefly presented and the results from the comparison of indications of a mobile measuring system with a professional radiometer at selected workstations were quoted.



A programme to support the assessment of occupational exposure to noise with the use of measurement strategy separating work activities
Grzegorz Makarewicz, Wiktor M. Zawieska

Despite the progress in noise reduction in work environment, noise is still a dominant harmful or bothersome factor affecting humans. Regardless of the noise control methods, it is important to quickly assess occupational exposure to noise in accordance with applicable regulations. The time needed to complete this process depends, among other factors, on the complexity of activities carried out during the working day and on the measurement strategy in place. Noise exposure assessment often requires not only measurements, but also additional, complex calculations. The Internet plays an increasingly important role in this respect, with programs supporting the above-mentioned operations appearing on its resources. An example of such a program is the script presented in the article supporting the assessment of noise exposure at the workplace with the use of a measurement strategy divided into activities performed by employees as part of their work. The program determines the reduction values for noise levels and exposure time for each activity leading to the daily noise exposure level in accordance with applicable regulations.
