Kabina traktora kao faktor pouzdane zaštite od opasnih tvari ; Tractor cabin as a factor of reliable protection against harmful substances
U radu su istaknute tehničke mjere zaštite korisnika od opasnih tvari pri aplikaciji pesticida u poljoprivredi. Prema novom Zakonu o homologaciji traktora u zemljama Europske unije, definirane su četiri kategorije kabina traktora s različitim stupnjevima zaštite korisnika od opasnih tvari. Prema analizi starih i novih traktora u EU tijekom primjene prskalica i orošivača nužno je koristiti i propisanu osobnu zaštitnu opremu. Međutim, još uvijek se događa da korisnici (traktoristi) u praksi tijekom pripreme i tretiranja zaštitnih sredstava ne koriste odgovarajuću osobnu zaštitnu opremu (posebno za respiratorne organe). ; Technical measures of user protection from harmful substances during the application of pesticides in agriculture are emphasized in this paper. According to the new Act on type-approval of tractors in the countries of the European Union, four categories of tractor cabins with different degrees of user protection from harmful substances are defined. According to the analysis of the old and new tractors in the EU, it is also necessary to use the proscribed personal protective equipment while using sprinklers and sprayers. However, it still happens in practice that users (tractor operators) do not use proper personal protective equipment (especially for the respiratory organs) during the preparation and treatment of protection means.
