Technospheric security - protecting a person from himself

We live in a stormy time. Having excluded all social processes, we can safely say that technology and technology determine our life. Of course, to the described by the fantasy worlds, in which the role of man is only to observe and philosophize, and machines and mechanisms are all engaged in ensuring the existence, we are still far away. But the concept of "technospheric security" is no longer from fantasy novels. Our habitat, which is usually called the technosphere, carries many dangers to man and nature. First of all, this is determined by the presence of complex industrial complexes, malfunctions in the work of which can lead to environmental disasters. Do not forget about ordinary household appliances, which can also cause an accident.

What is technospheric security?

Specialists of this direction follow the perspectives of technologies of human and nature protection from the consequences of industrial activity. A few years ago we talked about labor protection. Now the management of the technospheric security involves knowledge of not only the instructions and safety rules, but also environmental legislation, world standards for environmental protection.

Undoubtedly, nobody canceled traditional fire and sanitary and hygienic safety. Knowledge of all technological processes of the enterprise and its material and technical base are also obligatory for those who are trained. Technospheric security means the health and calm of the company's personnel (from the general director to the polisher), which means the success of the entire enterprise and the receipt of additional profit.

The best attack is defense

Employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations regularly go to the places of man-made accidents. In order to reduce their frequency, it is necessary to prevent and prevent possible consequences. In addition, technospheric security implies the prevention of occupational diseases and injuries, the continuous improvement of the organization of work, etc. Specialists in this field are engaged not only in compiling instructions on fire safety, but also in organizational, managerial and project activities. In addition, research work is constantly being carried out to improve working conditions and preserve the environment.

Saving the environment

The direction of "technospheric security" is designed to take care of the environment. This program monitors compliance with environmental legislation, monitors compliance with the requirements of standards and standards, verifies the integrity of production equipment. The environmental engineer also controls the rationality of the use of natural resources. In addition, it is necessary to constantly conduct various environmental assessments, to measure the level of danger and to predict the development of the situation. One of the most difficult tasks of an ecologist is to determine the degree of risk and its admissible boundaries. The risk must be minimized for both man and nature.

State scale of employment

In addition to manufacturing enterprises, specialists in the field of technospheric security work in ministries and departments, administrative departments of state and regional scales, in design and scientific organizations engaged in environmental issues. We will clarify that the list of ministries is extensive. The Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Social Development and the Ministry of Emergency Situations are just the beginning of the list.

The sphere of interests of ecologists

If earlier we talked about environmental protection, meaning waste disposal and rational use of resources, now such activities are called "technospheric security". The change of terms is due to the risks inherent in modern technology. Undoubtedly, modernized systems for cleaning and filtering waste materials for processing materials are much more powerful than those used a decade ago. But the production rates have also increased significantly, and the technologies for the production of synthetic materials occupy more and more places in our lives. All this without proper control can lead to anthropogenic catastrophe.

Environmental engineers are designed to monitor the degree of environmental pollution by enterprises that carry risks to nature conservation. Continuous improvement of environmental protection and organization of this work at enterprises is one of the main tasks of the ecologist. In addition, the environmental engineer should monitor the certification of products to minimize the damage to nature caused by human activities.

Emergencies

No matter how difficult it is to mention it, but man's productive activity is mostly harmful. The consequences of human intervention often end with environmental disasters. Of course, it is correct to prevent possible accidents and extraordinary situations. The engineer should be able to assess the risks of natural and man-made disasters, find the best solution in an emergency situation, regardless of the place where the accident occurred: residential area of the city, taiga or industrial enterprise. People need technospheric security. Specialty "emergency engineer" allows you to qualitatively assess the situation, quickly draw up a plan of measures and implement it on the ground.

In addition, specialists in this field have the knowledge and skills to prevent the consequences of natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, etc.).
