[Specifying work and rest schedule for those using heavy individual means of respiratory system protection].

The authors present data concerning influence of gas-masks with higher respiratory resistance on functional state of subjects performing physical and operator tasks. Finding are that only individuals with high general capacity for work (PWC170 over 3.0 W/kg of body weight) could perform tasks in heavy gas-masks, therefore only for them the specification of work and rest schedule is possible.

[Characteristics of work intensity and fatigue in proof-readers in the polygraphic industry].

A group of proof-readers showed the elective resistance to fatigue from visual work by the end of working shift. Changed near point, decreased power and hardiness of the hand, aggravated self appraisal were more significant than altered achromatic visual stability, time of motor response to the light and critical flicker fusion frequency. The studied parameters were compared making use of Derevianko's index.
