Abstract. In any given field, the psychological examination represents a prerequisite for ensuring that the work process is properly and appropriately directed towards increasing its efficiency. An important aspect of the psychological examination is to identify risk and protective factors associated with developing and maintaining emotional and behavioural problems. Special conditions resulting from emergency situations are likely to lead to physical and emotional tensions. In some intervention and rescue personnel these are accompanied by mobilization of internal resource, while in others they can generate inadequacy phenomena and symptoms of mental distress. From this perspective, stress is regarded as a result of the marked disparity between environmental requirements and the individual's response possibilities. To highlight both cognitive and behavioural coping strategies most often used by rescuers trained in NRDI INSEMEX we used two instruments, namely Strategic Approach to Coping Scale SACS and Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire CERQ. This paper displays the results of the project no. PN 16 43 01 12, study conducted through Nucleu program, implemented with the support of NASR.

The integrated method for an internal efficient auditing of occupational health and safety applicable to complex work systems found in the hydroelectric power generation has been developed within the Project PN 07 45 01 12 of NUCLEU Program/2010-2011. The documentation regarding the appliance procedure of the internal auditing method for the hydro-construction companies is structured in two parts: the first part which comprises the "Work instruments" and the second part, which comprises "The reporting instruments". The method can be used for diagnose analyses in order to assess the global occupational health and safety level as well as for determining the safety risk in OHS field, case in which the base of the probability function related to the states of insecurity can be prognosed with a certain accuracy, the depreciation level of the safety status by estimating the exceeding probability of the value for such a status. In order to determine the safety risk in OHS field there has been carried out the adjustment of the law for the probability of representative/maximal sample values (values related to the insecurity states) obtained from the 21 checklists used in OHS auditing of the analysed objectives from within AHE Surduc-Siriu, to the Gumbel theoretical law of probabilities.

Considering the expertise gained by the experts of INCD INSEMEX Petrosani in the organization and coordination of mine rescue operations based on an well-determined processing algorithm, it is possible to develop a modern and efficient tool for the management of emergency situations due to major accidents in the underground mining industry in order to diminish the period of time necessary to take good decisions in case of need. The paper presents this software in detail on a strict chronological order, as well the stages necessary to be considered by the members of the commandment in order to safely remove the effects of major accidents and provides, whenever necessary, lists with the specific objectives that have to be touched during certain stages.

The success of rescue in toxic, flammable and explosive environments can accurately be quantified by the number of injured caught at the event that occurs, identified, reanimated and transported safely to the nearest hospital or point of granting the first aid. Unfortunately, in most cases, the area where these activities are developed, research is more or less accessible due to the presence of smoke, toxic or explosive gases or lack of visibility. For this reason, most often we are witnessing a rescuer's specific oversized resource consumption in an attempt to identify and locate accident victims in areas without visibility or with hazardous atmosphere. Application of thermo-vision systems allow the localization of victims from industry accidents, aiming to the efficient rescue operation with low costs and risks, for both injured and the rescuers involved in such areas.

The special conditions created by emergency situations are likely to lead to psychological and emotional strains. For part of intervention and rescue personnel, these are accompanied by mobilization of internal resources, while in others these may lead to disabling phenomena as well as the occurrence of stress symptoms. Some people have a constitutional or psychological vulnerability to the action of traditional stressors, being more prone to psychic stress. The multifactorial complex of non-specific factors that modulate the individual response necessarily includes personality traits, acquired during the individual’s experience and manifested in the context of its interactions with the social network, as well as in actual situations (stressful events). This paper presents the results of a series of psychological personality assessments of intervention and rescue personnel, in the context of analysing the relationship between personality traits and the risk of occupational stress occurrence.
