摘要：Occupational safety and health is increasingly considered to be a distinct scientific discipline, with a well-defined place in the labor sciences system. The evolution of research in recent years at European and international level has highlighted an increasing interpenetration of occupational safety and health with other scientific disciplines circumscribed or related to the field of industrial engineering, such as medicine and occupational hygiene, ergonomics, sociology, mathematics, computer science etc. In national legislation, the intervention and rescue activity in toxic / explosive / flammable environments has so far proved to be generally appropriate both in terms of prevention and in terms of limiting the effects of technological damage of lesser or greater magnitude. The theoretical and instrumental aspects presented in the paper have a wide applicability, being intended for all rescue stations, regardless of the branch of activity, as well as for specialists in the field of occupational safety and health. Understanding the relationship between the environment, equipment and rescue station personnel and ho-w these three components interact is fundamental to achieving increased efficiency in rescue work.
