The course objective is to introduce students to the types and characteristics of the systems, means and equipment of occupational safety necessary for the application in the preparation processes, in carrying out and completing working processes in accordance with regulations, standards, instructions and rules. Students are enabled to identify working processes, to recognize risks and hazards typical for the given processes and to define systems, means and equipment necessary for application during any activity of the given process.

The student will be ready to indentify processes where it is necessary to establish occupational safety systems or protection mechanisms where it is necessary to use protection means and equipment. He/she will be trained to define types and characteristics of protection systems and mechanisms, as well as protection means and equipment which should be used. The student will be able to coordinate defined elements with risks and hazards occurring in the company processes and to coordinate requirements with the real possibilities of the company.

Types of processes, risks and hazards. Types and characteristics of protection systems and mechanisms. Application of protection systems in production and service companies. Types and characteristics of protection means. Types and characteristics of protection equipment; Systems of occupational safety in working with hazardous gases; Risks and protection measures against harmful dust and smoke; Risks and protection measures against vibrations and noise; Protection systems and protective mechanisms in application of electric devices; Harmful radiation and protection measures; Protection systems and protection mechanisms in working with manual tools; Protection systems in handling and load transport; Protection systems in closed space; Means of personal protection; Means of head protection; Means of eyes and face protection; Means of hearing protection; Means of respiratory organs protection; Means of extremities protection; Means of body protection; Means of protection against falling from the height or into deep.

Lectures, Auditory and Laboratory Practice and Consultations. The teaching method is based on the multimedia lectures and practice with the simulation of processes, practical lectures and discussions with practical examples. It is required to write the term paper in the real system in this course. During practice, lectures are held interactively through practical work within laboratory practice. The teaching method includes at least forty percent of the time devoted to the active participation of student, to the work in the laboratory and to the visits of production and service organizations. The written part of the examination can be taken in the form of two colloquiums, and the oral examination prerequisite is completed term paper.
