“…Duration of stable, high level work capacity is dependent on the type of work and the worker's psychological state [7]. This can be longer for moderate intensity work and shorter for work accompanied by a high tension of organic systems.…”

High variation of efforts in the rescue activity entails very difficult demands in nature or intensity, but however limited they may be in the work process, they have an impact on the whole body. The predominance of body functions that are engaged in a professional activity, imprints the characteristics of work capacity. Thus, in the work capacity of underground personnel, whose activity requires a predominant physical effort, a main role is played by the locomotor apparatus and the kinaesthetic analyser and only secondarily by the visual and optical analysers. In the activity of rescue in toxic/explosive/flammable environments, physical and neuro-psychological demands intertwine and combine in an infinite number of variants. The paper will present the work capacity of the rescuers which is determined by a large number of factors: physiological factors, psychological factors, work environment and socio-economic factors.

“…For safety and health at work of intervention and rescue personnel in flammable / toxic / explosive surroundings and for efficiency of actions undertaken, intervention personnel must be physically and psychologically prepared and trained. Such training can be achieved by using a modern training facility that can be available to any economic agent, regardless of place and nature of activity carried out [5].…”

The rescuer's performance falls into the category of "hard work", in terms of effort, far exceeding the average overall labor consumption of the worker from the active fronts of work. This character, of hard work, is also imprinted by the fact that the professional effort contains several static components and large amplitude oscillations, regarding the level of maximum efforts. The longer they last, the harder is the work. Training is a process of psychophysiological preparation through which an increased performance is obtained in the professional activity of rescuers. The maximum performance is obtained by raising the functional capacity of the body to the highest degree. For this it is necessary to use the systematic and methodical exercise according to pedagogical rules. The paper presents the evolution of physiological parameters, as well as the structuring of the physical effort of rescue personnel in the process of practical training in the mobile training facility, with the aim of preparing rescue teams for situations close to real ones. The mobile training facility consists of a physical training space (endless ladder, impact device, treadmill, elliptical bike, stepper), an indoor training circuit and a control room that allows the coordination of all activities.

It is essential to adopt appropriate prevention measures to protect workers operating in confined spaces. Working in confined spaces poses a risk factor for accidents or unwanted events with an impact on human health. Implementation of good practice rules in these situations is a mandatory preventive measure. A confined space is any location not intended for regular work, has entry or exit restrictions, is under atmospheric pressure, has inadequate ventilation, a risk of drowning or suffocation, a contaminated atmosphere, or an oxygen deficiency. Therefore, in the case of confined spaces, measures are necessary to protect workers from hostile atmospheres, from materials that may cover them, or other hazards that do not provide safety. By implementing safety measures, the risk of accidents or unwanted events in confined spaces with potentially explosive atmospheres, cause by the presence of hydrogen, can be significantly reduced, and workers can be efficiently protected against the dangers associated with these work environments.
