Teachers from the department of Occupational and Environmental Safety participated in a non-distance career guidance event with students of the educational institution “Lyceum Professional”!
Career guidance work by the staff of the department of Occupational Safety and Environment to find the most capable students for the specialty J4 “Occupational health and safety” is carried out in various ways. One of these ways is participation together with other departments of NTU “KhPI” in traditional non-distance career guidance events – Open Days, scientific picnics, Days of Light, etc. Such events in front-line Kharkiv can only be held in structures that ensure complete safety for all participants, that is, in bomb shelters.
This semester, one of such events organized with the participation of the Central admissions committee of NTU “KhPI” was an event with middle and high school students of the private educational institution “Lyceum Professional” of the Kharkiv region, which was held on April 15, 2025. In essence, it was a small open day, which was attended by representatives of the graduating departments of three educational and scientific institutes of NTU “KhPI” – NNI MIT, NNI EEE and NNI СhT.
It is quite natural that the department of Occupational Safety and Environment also participated in this event. Scientific and pedagogical workers prepared career guidance posters and campaign brochures, and for a visual demonstration – devices for monitoring dangerous and harmful production factors: Mestek IR01C pyrometer; digital vane anemometer VTMETER VT-816V, Robotron RTF 00024 sound level meter, GM 3120 electromagnetic radiation tester and Yu-116 luxmeter.
The head of the department, professor S. Vambol and associate professor of the department E. Yascheritsyn directly participated in the career guidance event.
During the event, students were told about the prospects of the specialty J4 “Occupational health and safety”, the educational program “Occupational health and safety”, the possibilities of internships, training and obtaining a double diploma at foreign universities. Employment prospects and positions that young specialists in this field will occupy after training were also discussed.
Naturally, future entrants were interested in the possibility of working with devices for monitoring hazardous and harmful production factors, which was demonstrated by our employees. And the students and their teachers themselves joined the measurement process.
Using the example of the bomb shelter in which this event was held, associate professor E. Yascheritsyn demonstrated the determination of parameters of dangerous and harmful factors, such as: noise level indicator – 68…84 dBA, illumination level at different points – 110…130 lux, magnetic induction – 0…7 μT; air temperature in the bomb shelter, which during the event ranged from 17 to 20 °C, humidity – 46%, air velocity less than 0,1 m/s.
In general, it should be noted that the maximum values of magnetic induction (about 7 μT) were recorded directly on the housings of electrical equipment used during the event. As the GM3120 device moved away from this equipment, the values of the levels of these factors decreased to zero. The maximum values of industrial noise, exceeding the permissible level of 80 dBA, were measured during a kahoot quiz with the event participants. Therefore, it should be noted that the levels of harmful and dangerous industrial factors measured in the bomb shelter fully satisfied the conditions for holding the event.
The career guidance work of the department continues!
