Abstract:
A combination of features of library labor: the need to quickly and clearly think,
analyze and make decisions; communicate with different people, manage an
excess of textual information; as well as the instability of the pace and rhythm
of work, and the high degree of physical activity poses a number of threats to
work and health. The use of modern equipment leads not only to a change in
the functional duties of workers, but also to the emergence of sources of danger.
And as a result of constant communication with users demonstrating the whole
spectrum of psych-emotional states – the threat of stress. New forms of activity
affect the psychology and consciousness of people ultimately, changing them.
The main goal of labor protection of a librarian is to save the life and health of the
librarian in the process of his professional activity.
