    Currently, technological progress brings not only benefits to humanity, but also harm. The electronicization of production processes and workplaces has a negative impact on human health and the environment. Federal system environmental safety is designed to ensure the protection of the environment and the interests of people from adverse impacts in any sphere of life. Negative influence can provide different kinds economic activities, as well as emergencies.

    The Federal Law “On Safety” provides for all possible systems security that ensure economic and legal protection citizens. Such lines of protection include bodies of all branches of government (executive, judicial, legislative), as well as forces and means of defense. Ensuring safety in the field of ecology is regulated by the Federal Law “On Environmental Protection”. All installed systems work in conjunction with organizational, economic, legal and educational measures.

    Basic levels of environmental protection

    Environmental protection is classified depending on the characteristics of the protected object and the subject composition of legal relations. It is customary to distinguish the following security levels:

    • Individual;
    • Object;
    • Local (local);
    • State;
    • Interstate;
    • Global.

    An individual level is established to ensure the environmental safety of a specific subject (enterprise employee or any resident settlement). Personal security is extremely important in production process, since modernized technology has a significant bad influence on human health. The object level of protection implies ensuring security at any national economic facility, regardless of the field of activity. That is, the entire object, and not individual subjects, falls under protection. It does not matter whose fault the threat or risk may arise.

    The local level of protection in the field of ecology is established within a specific municipal territory.

    With such protection, several business entities can be concentrated on a given perimeter. The state level is all-Russian and is established throughout the entire territory of the Russian Federation. The interstate level determines environmental protection for several states that are interconnected by one geographical region. The legislation also defines a global scale, i.e. ensuring proper protection of the environment of the world community.

    Components of environmental protection systems

    To create environmental safety on the territory of Russia, a number of requirements are met, the components of which are to ensure protection in the following areas:

    • Chemical;
    • Industrial;
    • Radiation;
    • Biological.

    The implementation of protective measures and the performance of functions to protect the population is carried out by various departments, ministries, structural organizations and institutions.


    List of tasks of the environmental protection system

    At the legislative level, a number of tasks that the environmental system faces are defined. These include:

    • Organized management and control over processes to achieve set goals for ensuring environmental safety both in individual regions and throughout the state;
    • Monitoring compliance with established standards to ensure environmental requirements;
    • Interaction with all government lines to create conditions for normal life of the population;
    • Timely prevention and elimination of consequences resulting from various accidents;
    • Protection against occurrence natural areas with an increased pollution factor;
    • Creation, planning, development and equipment of systems with means of ensuring environmental protection activities, etc.

    Video about environmental safety:

    Bodies providing environmental protection activities and management facilities

    To the bodies that create conditions for environmental activities in Russian Federation, relate:

    • Expert institutions;
    • Forces of urgent logical assistance;
    • Structural divisions of the Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Internal Affairs;
    • Federal Security Service;
    • Departments of the Ministry of Emergency Situations;
    • Medical institutions;
    • Environmental protection services (flora and fauna).

    To improve the quality of work of the listed departments, additional divisions (temporary and permanent) may be created.

    Requirements for environmental protection activities and industrial protection of technological systems and processes

    Safety and environmental friendliness technical systems takes a leading position in creating conditions to protect the environment, as well as the life and health of the population. During design and production various types equipment, it is necessary to take into account the basic requirements that apply to personnel working with technological devices.

    Industrial safety consists of compliance technical rules when working with mechanisms under the influence electric current, as well as with devices that emit radiation.

    The environmental friendliness of technical systems is checked in special expert institutions at the design and production stage finished products. Any equipment must undergo testing before being put into operation. Subsequently, industrial protection is ensured by periodically checking devices for the presence of negative factors affecting employees and the environment. There are two main types of protection from exposure to harmful industrial factors:

    • Collective;
    • Individual.

    Collective means of protection are conventionally divided into categories:

    • Fencing (barricades of an industrial facility from the penetration of unauthorized persons);
    • Safety (valves, membranes, brake mechanisms, switches, limiters, etc.);
    • Blocking (mechanical, electrical, radiation, photoelectric, hydraulic, pneumatic, combined);
    • Alerts (sound, light or combined alarms);
    • Remote control (television or telemetry lines);
    • Special (designed for a specific facility or production process).

    If collective protective equipment is not used or provided for at an industrial facility, then individual protective equipment is used. Before initial use and subsequent operation, each device (mechanism) must be tested for compliance with established standards. As for high-risk equipment, it is subject to a special examination and test, during which the number of harmful factors is determined.

    To create environmental installations and machines, functional diagnostics are carried out. During diagnostics, all readings are recorded by control and measuring instruments. The most common diagnostic method is vibration-acoustic.

    Implementation of environmental safety requirements when servicing, repairing and refueling equipment, when performing work with fire and explosive, aggressive, highly toxic and radioactive substances and when transporting dangerous goods

    Implementation of environmental safety requirements during maintenance, repair and refueling of equipment

    During the operation, maintenance and repair of weapons and military equipment (WME), there is a harmful effect on the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. The impact of military equipment on the environment is similar to the impact of transport, agricultural, industrial, earth-moving and other national economic equipment.

    Maintenance is a set of operations to maintain in good working order and in working condition weapons and military equipment when used for their intended purpose or during storage.

    Routine maintenance includes routine inspection and daily maintenance. In all cases, maintenance must ensure the constant readiness of weapons and equipment for use, safe operation, elimination of the causes of premature wear and breakdowns components, reliable operation weapons and equipment within the established overhaul periods, as well as minimum consumption operating materials.

    Control inspection of combat, special and transport vehicles is carried out before leaving the park, on the way (at stops and rest stops), during classes and exercises. From an environmental point of view, its important elements are:
    - checking the filling with fuel, lubricants, water;
    - detection of water, oil, fuel leaks;
    - elimination of the causes of the malfunction when identifying leaks.

    How important the last element is can be judged from the following example.

    If gasoline or oil leaks at a rate of one drop per second, then about 4.5 liters of pollutant fall onto the ground per day natural environment product that will eventually appear in the water, and one liter of oil can spoil a million liters of water, that is, the amount of water that fits in 20 railway tanks.

    Daily maintenance (DMT) of weapons and military equipment is carried out at the end of the lesson (training stage, work) in order to determine the technical condition and prevent accelerated wear under the influence of dirt, moisture, residues of caustic liquids and substances, as well as to prepare for upcoming actions .

    During ETO, components, assemblies and parts of the machine are cleaned, washed, and lubricated; identified faults are eliminated; fastening and adjustment work is carried out. Before the start of ETO, during it or upon completion, vehicles are refueled with fuel, oils, and coolants at field refueling points organized in departments and at the unit’s fuel depot.

    If faults are identified that cannot be corrected by the crew, current repairs of the vehicles are carried out using mobile repair equipment of the battalion (division) or unit.

    All operations for refueling, maintenance and repair of weapons and military equipment are associated with the inevitable release of contaminated water, oil products, used cleaning materials, packaging, small rubber products and other parts onto the ground. Therefore, all operations must be carried out on specially selected sites with hard ground or low grass cover, sheltered from ground observation. Such a site is equipped with drains, group collections (settlers) for contaminated water, liquids, used cleaning materials, packaging and unusable parts. At the end of the lesson (training, work stage), the water collectors are neutralized, and the used materials and parts are collected in sealed containers and transported to a designated collection point for disposal (burial, destruction).

    Venues for Maintenance And current repairs Under no circumstances should they be deployed near water bodies or in specially protected areas. On tactical fields and other sites of training grounds and training centers It is advisable to equip special stationary sites with a hard (concrete) surface for this purpose.

    Implementation of environmental safety requirements when performing work with fire and explosive, aggressive, highly toxic and radioactive substances

    Radioactive radiation existed in nature even before the appearance of life on the planet. Natural ionizing radiation accompanied the development and evolution of living organisms throughout the entire period of their existence. As a result of this, plants, animals and humans have developed a certain resistance to radiation and adapted to a constant radiation background without any negative consequences for the functioning and vital activity of organisms. Ionizing radiation only produces harmful effects when levels exceed background levels.

    Harmful chemicals (for the most part) were unknown to nature; they were created by man in relatively recent times - and continue to be created at a catastrophic speed. Therefore, they are alien to nature, which is not able to adapt so quickly to their presence, sometimes even in small quantities. But chemicals have entered our lives and everyday life so deeply that we encounter them literally at every step. And this circumstance obliges us to handle aggressive and toxic substances very carefully and carefully, to prevent their release into the environment and thereby harm nature.

    IN military units security measures must be taken everywhere, starting directly from the military camp, barracks, canteen, cultural and social premises and official purpose, where sanitary and hygienic requirements for air quality must first be observed, drinking water and maintenance of sanitary facilities. For example, household waste and garbage per unit mass of dry matter contain 32-40 percent of organic substances (paper, rags, plastic), which contain (as a percentage of the total mass): 0.56 percent nitrogen; 0.44 phosphorus; 0.155 zinc; 0.085 lead; 0.001 cadmium and 0.001 percent mercury.

    Each military unit organizes waste collection, sorting and disposal designated places. Containers and containers for waste are specially equipped and closed with lids. Open storage and use of chemically active, flammable products are not allowed. hazardous substances, organic solvents, as well as their use for washing floors, cleaning walls and furniture, cleaning and washing clothes.

    In addition, it is prohibited:
    - introduce potent substances into barracks, household and office premises toxic substances(SDYAV), toxic, explosives and ammunition;
    - pour solutions of chemicals, petroleum products, organic solvents and other environmentally harmful substances into the sewer system.

    The vehicle fleet of a military unit is the most intense source of emission and discharge of gaseous, liquid and solid pollutants. Exhaust gases, petroleum products, acids, oily rags, waste metals, plastics, glass, rubber are dangerous pollutants of the natural environment. In sludge treatment facilities municipal wastewater contains (per unit mass of dry matter) 12 percent humic substances(high molecular weight substances - a product of the transformation of organic residues with a lack of oxygen); up to 3 percent total nitrogen: 3.8 percent phosphates; 9-13 percent fat; 7-10 percent carbohydrates, as well as significant amounts of heavy metals.

    Reducing the amount of emissions into the atmosphere is achieved by limiting the operating time of vehicle engines, using exhaust gas purification products, using unleaded fuels, and reducing leaks and spills of petroleum products.

    Repairs, equipment, and refueling of equipment must be carried out on special hard-surfaced areas equipped with settling tanks. Equipment washing points are equipped with recycling water supply systems with the discharge and disposal of petroleum products.

    It is prohibited to discharge petroleum products, acids, alkalis and other active chemicals, organic solvents, varnishes, paints into open flowing and non-flowing water bodies, into sewers and onto the ground. Used oils, alkalis, acids, antifreeze, and detergents must be collected in special containers for subsequent disposal. Air regeneration means (regenerative cartridges, starting and additional briquettes) are prohibited from being kept on the territory of the park and destroyed by flooding in water bodies. Spent regeneration agents are collected and delivered to the warehouse.

    Storage facilities for ammunition, explosives and explosives, smoke-forming, flamethrower-incendiary, degassing and other dangerous substances, as well as fuels and lubricants are located in a securely protected area at a strictly defined distance from residential, administrative, economic facilities and from each other.

    Warehouse maintenance personnel must have necessary preparation, firmly know the rules for handling substances, materials and products in storage, be able to act in emergency situations. Measures to prevent, localize and eliminate the consequences of accidents in warehouses with fire-, explosive, aggressive and highly toxic substances are provided for by an environmental action plan developed in each part. Personnel involved in emergency rescue operations must be familiar with this plan (as it relates to it) and have appropriate practical training.

    Storage facilities containing hazardous substances and products must be equipped with means of environmental control and measurement of pollution parameters. Particularly careful monitoring is carried out over products, substances and materials with expired shelf life that are subject to refreshment or disposal.

    Implementation of environmental safety requirements when transporting dangerous goods

    The harmful impact of a transport accident on the natural environment is aggravated tens or hundreds of times if it occurs with a vehicle transporting dangerous goods. It is precisely such cargo that makes up the majority of all material and technical equipment transported in the interests of the troops.

    Dangerous goods include:
    - explosives, ammunition, pyrotechnic products, explosives. They can explode if handled carelessly, hit, or if the housing is damaged; when mixed with air and dust, vapors of flammable substances can explode;
    - gases. They are usually transported under pressure, and therefore, under certain circumstances, when the pressure increases sharply or a gas leak (especially flammable gas) occurs, an explosion may occur;
    - flammable liquid and solid substances - gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, fuel oil, molten sulfur, fillers for regenerative cartridges, etc. This is perhaps the most large group hazardous substances. For these substances to ignite, sometimes it is enough to come into contact with a hot surface, with oil, water, or the appearance of an electric spark from metal striking metal (with a hammer, wrench). A fire may be accompanied by an explosion with a scattering of burning material tens of meters around;
    - self-igniting substances - phosphorus, alkali metals, etc. Such substances easily ignite upon contact with atmospheric oxygen and spontaneously ignite due to the low ignition temperature (for phosphorus, for example, 50 ° C) when the protective shell is damaged;
    - substances that form flammable gases upon contact with water - for example, calcium carbide, used for gas cutting and welding;
    - strong oxidizing agents and organic peroxides, which, when interacting with water, organic solvents and other substances, react with them to release large quantity heat, which leads to ignition;
    - toxic substances. Their list includes hundreds of names of substances hazardous to humans and nature;
    - infectious (contagious) substances that cause various diseases of humans, animals and vegetation;
    - radioactive substances widely used by the military to test the performance and calibration of dosimetric instruments and for other purposes;
    - caustic substances - alkalis and mineral acids;
    - substances harmful to water. The list of them can take dozens of pages.

    Thus, goods are considered dangerous if, due to vehicle accidents or improper handling of the goods themselves, there is a danger to humans and nature.

    There is always a threat when working with dangerous goods. But by taking a number of measures, it is possible, and most importantly necessary, to reduce the corresponding danger to a minimum.

    First of all, the car must always be in good condition. But even if you have sufficient confidence in the serviceability of the car, before leaving for a flight, you need to check five things:
    - air pressure in tires and tightening of wheel nuts. The pressure must be no lower and no higher than the normal pressure established and noted in the technical documentation. Both suspiciously low and too high pressure may cause an accident;
    - liquid levels; oil in the crankcase, water and antifreeze in the radiator, brake fluid in the cylinders - which must comply technical specifications; a drop in the liquid level indicates a leak, but there should not be a leak;
    - condition of the brakes and the length of the braking distance;
    - the condition of the steering, first of all - the amount of play in the steering wheel. If necessary, the cause of the discrepancy between the play and the established norm should be eliminated;
    - serviceability of headlights and signal lamps.

    All identified faults must be corrected on site. With any of indicated malfunctions the car should not leave the park.

    Vehicles transporting dangerous goods are marked with warning boards and signs so that they are visible to all road users. For all vehicles transporting dangerous goods, the instructions put into effect by Order of the Minister of Defense No. 246 of June 23, 1997 established mandatory rules regulating the procedure for installing identification marks, applying inscriptions and designations on vehicles Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

    In accordance with these instructions, when transporting dangerous goods in vehicles, a “Dangerous Goods” sign in the form of a rectangle is installed on the right side of the bumper (cabin) of the vehicle and on the back wall (side) of the body or tank, the right side of which is painted orange, and the left side is painted orange.
