German to Romanian: Die Gegenwart als Vergangenheit
Source text - German Diese zeitliche Schwebe ähnelt der eschatologischen Zeitlosigkeit oder der Zeit, die am Ende aller Zeiten herrscht. In seinem letzten Buch DPP/NN hat Viktor Pelevin all die apokalyptischen Vorstellungen beschrieben, die im zeitgenössischen Russland von Bankern, Gaunern und Polizeibeamten vertreten werden. Diese groteske Phantasmagorie der Endzeit, die als Privatangelegenheit erlebt wird, ist im Wahnsinn der Hauptfigur Stepa Michailov verwurzelt, der mit der verbleibenden Zeit zu spielen und das drohende Ende durch die Beschwörung magischer Zahlen aufzuhalten versucht. Zeit und Geschichte verschwinden ganz und gar in einer unzeitlichen Zahlenparanoia. Pelevins Buch stellt somit die moderne russische Eschatologie auf treffende Weise als ein rein allegorisches Spiel privater Obsessionen dar. In gewisser Weise ist es eine trash-Allegorie. Die Melancholie, die derartige Allegorien durchströmt, ist jedoch nicht an die Vergangenheit gebunden, sondern vielmehr an eine Gegenwart, die immer wieder als bereits verloren erscheint oder aber hinter ein weiteres Bruchstück der kaleidoskopischen Reihe zurücktritt. Es handelt sich um die Melancholie des ‚Eschaton‘, der unzeitlichen Zeit. Trash privilegiert die Nicht-Literatur als eine Fundgrube von dekontextualisierten literarischen und mythologischen Figuren (wie wir von Benjamin wissen, steht der Mythos der Allegorie sehr nahe). Trash begreift die Wirklichkeit stets in Begriffen jener Figuren, die aus der Literaturgeschichte bestens bekannt sind: die Guten und die Schurken, die unschuldigen Mädchen usw. Wirklichkeit hat keinerlei Bedeutung, solange sie nicht in den Figuren verkörpert werden kann. Und derlei Figuren gestatten es, jedwede Bedeutung in völlig geschlossenen Bildern einzukapseln.	Translation - Romanian Această plutire în timp seamănă într-un fel cu eternitatea eschatologică sau cu timpul care domneşte la capătul tuturor timpurilor. În ultimul său volum DPP/NN Viktor Pelevin a prezentat toate scenariile apocaliptice reprezentate în Rusia contemporană de bănci, escroci şi funcţionari de poliţie. Această fantasmagorie grotescă a sfârşitului lumii, trăită ca eveniment personal, este înrădăcinată în nebunia personajului principal, Stepa Michailov. El încearcă să se joace cu timpul care a mai rămas şi să împiedice apocalipsa pin invocarea unor cifre magice. Timpul şi istoria dispar pur şi simplu într-o paranoia atemporală de cifre. Cartea lui Pelevin prezintă în mod inspirat eschatologia modernă a Rusiei ca pe un joc alegoric al unor obsesii private. Într-o oarecare măsură e voba de o alegorie trash. Melancolia care traversează asemenea alegorii nu este legată de trecut, ci mai curând de un prezent care pare mereu a fi deja pierdut, sau pare un timp care se retrage în spatele unor fragmente dintr-o serie caleidoscopică. Aveam de a face aici cu melancolia ‘eschatonului’, a timpului dincolo de timp. Trash-ul privilegiază non-literatura ca pe o mină de aur cu figuri literare şi mitologice decontextualizate (aşa cum ştim de la Benjamin, mitul şi alegoria sunt înrudite). Trash-ul percepe realitatea în termenii unor figuri arhicunoscute din istoria literară : tipii buni şi escrocii, fetele nevinovate, etc. Realitatea nu are de fapt nici o semnificaţie în afara acestor figuri. Asemenea figuri permit ţintuirea oricărei semnificaţii în imagini perfect închise.
English to Romanian: standard
Source text - English Introduction A Permit to Work is a documented system used as part of a safe system of work for potentially hazardous tasks. The system will apply to employees and contractors. It defines the work to be done, where it is to be done, when it is to be done, by whom and precautions to be taken. Completion of a permit does not ensure safety, but together with risk assessments, method statements and procedures they can ensure that risks are recognized and minimized. For every Permit to Work (PTW) there should be a relevant procedure: - Terminology The following definitions will apply (Ref OHSAS 18001): - Hazard - Source or situation with a potential for harm in terms of injury or ill health, damage to property, damage to the workplace environment, or a combination of these. Risk - Combination of the likelihood and consequence(s) of a specified hazardous event occurring. . Risk Assessment – Overall process of estimating the magnitude of risk and deciding whether or not the risk is tolerable Safe Systems of Work A specific control measure that directs personnel to work in a particular way is called a Safe System Of Work. The three categories to be used are: - Safety Rules Safe Work Procedures Permit to Work procedures	Translation - Romanian Introducere Un permis de lucru este un sistem documentat folosit ca parte a unui sistem de siguranţă de lucru pentru operaţii potenţial periculoase. Sistemul se aplică angajaţilor şi contractanţilor. El defineşte operaţia ce trebuie făcută, unde să fie făcută, când, de către cine şi cu ce precauţii. Îndeplinirea permisului nu garantează siguranţa de lucru, dar împreună cu evaluarea de risc, cu metodele şi procedurile de lucru stabilite se poate determina o recunoaştere şi o minimalizare a riscurilor. Pentru fiecare permis de lucru (PTW) trebuie să existe o procedură aferentă : - Terminologie Se vor utiliza următoarele definiţii (Ref OHSAS 18001 Pericol – sursă sau situaţie care implică un pericol potenţial la adresa integrităţii şi sănătăţii angajaţilor, avarii ale bunurilor, deteriorări ale mediului sau o combinaţie a acestora. Risc – combinaţie dintre probabilitatea apariţiei unui anumit pericol şi consecinţele sale. . Evaluarea riscului – Procesul integral de estimare a amplorii riscului şi decizia cu privire la suportabilitatea acestuia. Sisteme de siguranţa muncii O măsură specifică de control care constrânge personalul să acţioneze într-un anumit mod se numeşte sistem de siguranţă a muncii. Cele trei categorii aplicabile sunt : - Regulamentul de siguranţă Proceduri de siguranţa muncii Proceduri ale permisului de lucru
