Aims
The aim of the subject is to provide students with basic information on the characteristics of chemical, radiation and biotechnological accidents on their prevention and risk assessment. The focus is on the interpretation of organizational and technical measures in the field of chemical, radiation and biotechnological safety. It also includes the assessment of natural disasters applied to our climatic region. Through lectures, students will gain basic knowledge of the prevention of these accidents in all major areas in accordance with valid legislation.
Increasing knowledge and competencies of students will be reflected in the following areas:
a) Graduates of the subject will understand mutual relationships in the prevention of serious chemical accidents.
b) Graduates of the subject will understand mutual relationships in the prevention of serious radiation accidents.
c) Graduates of the subject will understand mutual relationships in the prevention of serious biotechnological accidents.
d) Graduates of the subject will understand the mutual relations in the prevention of major traffic accidents.
