| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | 1. Police officers are exposed to various risk factors while performing their duties. Using risk assessment methods can help identify those risk factors in the work environment that are not immediately apparent. In such situations, workers become aware of the importance of these risk factors and learn to act better so that their safety and health and the health of exposed workers are not harmed. Using risk assessment methods, it is necessary to find out what risks are in the workplace and fill in the risk assessment table. (Using the regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers of October 2, 2007 No. 660 "Procedures for conducting internal monitoring of the working environment"). 2. Draw up an act or opinion about an accident in the structural unit. (Using the regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 116 of March 1, 2016 "The procedure for investigating and accounting for accidents at work that have happened to officials of the institutions of the Ministry of the Interior's system and prison administration with special service ranks"). 3. A report must be developed (summarizing and analyzing the most important risk factors at the workplace. What measures should be taken to reduce risk factors?). The volume of the report is up to 10 - 12 pages. The report must be prepared in accordance with RSU requirements and record keeping rules. It is necessary to prepare for the public defense of the paper. | ||||||||
