Technogenic development of society has caused widespread use in the system «man – production environment» and the system «man – household environment» of household electrical equipment, industrial electrical installations. Failure to comply with the regulated rules of electrical safety of electric current leads to electrical injuries. Designs of electrical installations, equipment, electrical protective measures are constantly being improved. But the level of electrical injuries in Ukraine and abroad tends to increase. This leads to social and economic losses as a result of economic costs in accidents, employee deaths, loss of working time and so on. The most objective indicator of injury is fatal. Thus, the level of fatal injuries at work per 1,000 workers in the developed world compared to the same rate in Ukraine in the UK is 10 times less, in Japan 7 times less, in the US 3 times less. This situation requires analysis and development of appropriate measures to reduce the level of electrical injuries. The analysis of statistical data revealed that the highest level of electrical injuries is observed in the following areas: - in agriculture; - service sector; - in public utilities; - in everyday life. At the same time, the tendency of its growth in the non-productive sphere and the household sector is expressed. So, at present in the general list of accidents from action of an electric current household electric injuries make the largest part – more than 46%. This is due to the insufficient level of education of the population on electrical safety, operation of electrical equipment in high-risk areas or in particularly dangerous by the degree of electric shock. At the same time, the level of domestic electrical injuries is higher in rural than in urban areas. It was also found that the greatest danger is posed by mobile and portable electrical installations, power tools and internal wiring. In addition, the housing of such electrical installations is often grounded through one of the cores of the power cable, which is unacceptable. The reasons for the high level of electrical injuries also include non-compliance with regulated organizational measures to ensure occupational safety and the so-called «human» factor. To improve the situation, it is necessary to intensify and increase the level of training of the population and employees on electrical safety, development and application of more modern switching electrical protection.
The statistical data on the level of occupational injuries, which is caused by the discrepancy between the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the working area illumination and the established standards, are presented. The characteristics and features of the functioning of the human visual analyzer are described. Characterized by the non-visual effect of light on the human body. Developed recommendations on the organization of industrial lighting, which will provide a reduction in the level of occupational morbidity and industrial injuries.
The relevance of the introduction of HCL systems in production conditions, in which the dynamics of changes in the characteristics of light flux can be synchronized with the circadian biorhythms of the human body. This is determined by the fact that the unsatisfactory characteristics of industrial lighting increase the risk of injury and occupational morbidity. It is shown that providing only normative quantitative characteristics of illumination is not enough, since its qualitative characteristics – ripple coefficient, spectral composition cause non-visual effect of light. They can affect the psychophysiological state of a person, his\her performance, fatigue by affecting the circadian biorhythms of the body. The comparison of standard values of the level of artificial lighting of jobs in different countries with natural ones. Based on the analysis, recommendations were developed aimed at improving artificial lighting. The analysis of the results of the study of non-visual effect of the pulsation of the light flux on the psychophysiology of a person was carried out. Its main negative consequences are given, the necessary tasks for the implementation of the HCL program in a production environment in this aspect are identified. The results of analysis of studies of the influence of the color temperature of the light flux on the psychophysiological state of a person are also presented. Recommendations on the regulation of this parameter for various types of production activities have been developed. Keywords: industrial lighting; NIF-effect; occupational injuries.
The tourism industry in Ukraine is currently actively developing. This industry meets the tourist needs of the population and is one of the important factors in the receipt of funds in the country's budget and employment. The main component of the tourism industry is the hotel industry. According to statistics, the cost of hotel services is from 30% to 50% of all tourist costs. The national market of the hotel industry of Ukraine includes international hotel chains. The analysis of the development of the hotel industry of Ukraine shows that the competitiveness of domestic hotel enterprises with European and Asian enterprises is not at the proper level. This requires increasing the efficiency of their economic activities. Therefore, to ensure efficiency, the task of the national hotel chain is to increase the competitiveness of hospitality enterprises. One of the ways to solve this problem is personnel management, including through the introduction of staff motivation. According to statistics, only 5% of staff always work in the hotel business with high efficiency. Other people need constant supervision, regular monitoring of tasks. Based on this, the hospitality companies had a small number of employees who aim at high efficiency of the entire enterprise. This is an important issue. Currently, hospitality companies use two types of motivation: - material motivation; - intangible motivation. The methods of material motivation include material rewards: - at full load of the enterprise, - at overfulfillment of the plan of sale of hotel services, - in the form of the annual premium, etc. Types of material motivation do not exclude punishment of staff, such as fines. The types of intangible motivation currently used in hospitality enterprises include: - organization of corporate holidays, - congratulations to employees on anniversaries, - introduction of additional days off, etc. Such types of motivation are used, for example, in the network of HELIOPARK Hotels & Resorts, Holiday Inn. This problem can be solved by organizing certain methods of motivation into a single system. Such a system must be adaptive.
