DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN INDIVIDUAL SAFETY SYSTEMS WHEN WORKING WITH CUTTING EQUIPMENT IN THE GARMENT INDUSTRY

Abstract

One of the main risks that arises when working with light industry equipment is injury from moving machine parts. Many sewing machines have moving parts that can lead to serious injury if the worker does not use them carefully or if the machine is not properly maintained or if there is a human factor of inattention to a particular operation. The latter is particularly dangerous when cutting materials on a draw frame. This situation becomes a particular problem when, as usual, less qualified workers start working on this rather dangerous technological operation instead of experienced male staff which is caused by the peculiarities of the enterprise's operation during martial law. In order to prevent the worker from being injured by a cutting tool while performing technological operations, the development of an individual hand protection device with the involvement of modern digital technologies have been proposed by authors. The main approaches to the manufacture of the protection device and propose basic circuit solutions that allow implementing the protection system in its final form have been analysed. The emphasis is placed on the protection device, the design of which can be implemented on a common and affordable element base. The authors also envisage expanding the capabilities of this security device by adapting other additional functional and technological options to it, which increases its efficiency and competitiveness.
