INSTRUMENT FOR PLANNING PROPER WORKING CONDITIONS IN PREMISES WITH ELECTRONIC COMPUTING MACHINEІ

Problem statement. When arranging the premises where employees use computers and other types of visual display terminals, it is necessary to ensure proper working conditions in order to reduce the negative impact of computers on employees' health, i. e. to minimize the possibility of occupational diseases. The use of specialized software to address the issues of ensuring proper working conditions can significantly speed up the process of assessing working conditions in the workplace, as well as simplify approaches to the occupational health and safety management system. The task of creating appropriate software for the design of computer rooms to ensure proper working conditions in accordance with current legislation and regulations on occupational safety and health is becoming increasingly important. The purpose of the article is development of specialized software for designing premises with computers in accordance with current legislation and ensuring proper working conditions for employees using VDT computers. Conclusions. The developed program is a tool for designing computer rooms in accordance with the requirements of current labor protection legislation. The program has the functionality to calculate the size of one workplace in compliance with the regulated minimum area and volume per employee. Also, with the help of the program “Occupational Health and Safety in the Office”, you can calculate the total number of workplaces in the premises. The program can be used to calculate the total artificial uniform lighting on horizontal work surfaces. The calculation of lighting is made in accordance with DBN B.2.5:28-2018 Natural and artificial lighting and makes it possible not only to design a lighting system, but also to check the existing lighting in an existing room.
