OVO (osebna varovalna oprema)

Definition from Slovenian Government:
Osebna varovalna oprema v smislu tega pravilnika je vsaka oprema, ki jo delavec nosi, drži ali kako drugače uporablja pri delu, tako da ga varuje pred enim ali več istočasno nastopajočimi tveganji za njegovo varnost in zdravje.
Example sentences:
Osebna varovalna oprema (OVO) je vsaka oprema ali pripomoček, ki je bil načrtovan in izdelan zato, da ga posameznik nosi ali drži s ciljem varovanja pred eno ali več nevarnostmi za zdravje in varnost - od zaščitnih oblek do ščitnikov za športnike. Z uporabo osebne varovalne opreme se poskuša preprečiti ali zmanjšati tveganja za izpostavljenost nevarnosti na sprejemljivo raven. (Wiki)
