ABSTRACT
The analysis of accidents in power plants shows that one of the main causes of the increase in their number is a discrepancy of operators’ psychophysiological capabilities and professional demands. The economic losses are stipulated not only for accidents, but also for the inefficient operation of equipment. Besides, the operators who do not meet professional requirements get sick and receive work trauma more often. There is a necessity to implement a monitoring of operator’s psychophysiological professionally important qualities (PPIQ) during all stages of their professional career (initial professional selection, periodical and daily check). Such an approach allows not only reduced economic damage because of inefficient and erroneous human actions, but also prevents premature deterioration of his/her health and a premature quitting of the job.
