Lesson 148
This article discusses the emergence of smart personal protective equipment (smart PPE) in the workplace. They combine traditional security measures with improved materials or electronic components and can collect data about the user, the working environment or their own application. While these new technologies promise greater safety and comfort for workers, there are still many obstacles to overcome in order to be effective. With this in mind, the challenges faced by stakeholders were analyzed, such as the need to establish standards and an appropriate testing and certification framework. The study provides recommendations to help you make the best use of the potential benefits of intelligent personal protective equipment, highlighting the importance of collaboration between users and manufacturers in this field. - "Landing Day" at the Cracow University of Technology

Our checklists make it possible to check whether a specific machine or group of rails meets the safety requirements of regulations and standards. They are also a tool for occupational risk assessment when operating these machines; they can be used as a source of information for safety instructions. Readers use them in different ways; also for the training of future machine operators. The next list is for paper reel wrapping machines used in paper making and finishing plants. The list of the lists published so far can be found on the website www.atest.com.pl in the "Machines - checklist" tab (box "Thematic cycles"). The digital version of most of these publications is available on the Technical Information Portal (www.sigma-not.pl).
