Analysis of sublimit sources of danger from the viewpoint of prevention of serious accidents in the Czech Republic.
FUNJEKOVÁ, Kristýna
The bachelor thesis is Analysis of sub-limit sources of hazards in terms of major accidents prevention in the Czech Republic. It deals with the issue of unclassified hazards sources that do not fall within the scope of Act no. 224/2015 Coll., on major accidents caused by selected hazardous substances or chemical mixtures. The aim of the thesis is to describe the characteristics of lower-tier establishments with hazardous substances and to evaluate the sources of hazards within the lower-tier establishments and beyond the lower-tier establishments.The bachelor thesis is divided into two parts. In the theoretical part, attention is paid to scientific literature, relevant legislation and documentation regulating the issue of unclassified sources of hazards. The research part focuses on the analysis of the sub-limit sources of hazards structure in the individual Czech Republic regions and deals with the current approach of the regional fire rescue services to this issue in order to answer the research questions and the achieved objectives of the thesis. A SWOT analysis has been carried out in order to evaluate the sub-limit sources of hazard in the individual regions in relation to the number of inhabitants of the region as well as the current approach to solving the issue of the lower-tier establishments by the regional fire rescue services. At the conclusion of the thesis, changes for the regional fire rescue services concerning the minimization of hazards represented by the lower-tier establishments are proposed.

Chemical weapons and preparedness of the Integrated Rescue System
TRSKOVÁ, Veronika
This bachelor thesis deals with the Integrated Rescue System, its components and preparedness of these components for intervention in case of the attack of chemical weapons. The aim of the thesis was to find out whether the selected basic components of the Integrated Rescue System are able to respond to the danger caused by the chemical weapons attack. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part is theoretical, general characteristics of chemical weapons are described here. Furthermore, the history of the development of chemical weapons is briefly mentioned, important milestones in this area are added, such as the first use of a chemical weapon. The next point is the description of the individual chemical warfare agents, the description includes the basic characteristics, effects on the body, and possible protection against them. Part of my thesis is devoted to IRS itself, means of individual protection and decontamination. The last chapter of the theoretical part deals with the Convention on the Prohibition of Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and Their Destruction. The second part, i.e. the practical part, defines the methods and objectives of the research itself and the results that are graphically processed for the sake of clarity. Subsequently, the results are described in the discussion. The goal of the thesis was to answer the research question. Are the basic components of the Integrated Rescue System ready to possible attack by chemical weapons? To ensure this information, a questionnaire survey was used to fill the basic components. A total of 54 people participated in this survey. Research has revealed that the knowledge of the chemical weapons components of the IRS is low, from which it can be concluded that the components are not sufficiently prepared to attack chemical weapons. The practical contribution of this thesis should be mainly to increase the number of exercises related to this issue and increase the theoretical preparation of the monitored components of the Integrated Rescue System.

Securing operability system of resources in kind of chemical and technical service in the fire brigade of Pardubice region
KOŽENÝ, Petr
The aim of the diploma thesis is to assess contamination by chemical substances of selected operating premises at the FRS stations of the Pardubice Region. Elevated contamination by dangerous dangerous chemical substances of the mentioned premises can be results of many factors, from technical to organisational ones, and as a final consequence of this, it may influence firefighters´ health negatively. The theoretical part of the thesis presents basic information about the organisation, duties and securing the operability of chemical and technical services material equipment. Furthermore, knowledge of possible risks of contamination of material equipment and about inspections of the chemicals in operating environment are presented. In the survey part, air contamination of 13 selected areas is assessed during everyday operations and once in an intentionally contaminated area. As the measuring procedure in all the selected areas, air sampling through adsorption tube with Tenax sorbent was used. Specifying the chemical substances in the samples is implemented by the means of a thermodesorption equipment and a gas chromatograph with a mass spectrometer. Furthermore, sampling in sample bags with following analysis by the means of infrared spectroscopy is implemented in contaminated areas. There are 42 air sampling in Tenax adsorption tubes and 2 air sampling in sample bags implemented altogether. Numbers of volatile organic substances is identified in the surveyed areas, most of them benzene and toluene. From identified inorganic gases hydrogen sulfide is discovered in one case, which concentration exceeded strongly the hygienic standards set by the Czech legislation. The identified results not only can influence securing the operability of material equipment but also contribute to a general reduction of firefighters´ exposure to dangerous chemical substances.

Issues of transporting dangerous chemical substances in road transport
VANDAS, David
The paper deals with transportation of dangerous chemical substances in road transport in the Czech Republic. The paper was elaborated on the basis of available literature focused on transportation of dangerous chemical substances, especially on the European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road. This Agreement is the crucial document for transportation of dangerous goods both in the Czech Republic and in all states, which acceded to this Agreement. The objective of the paper is assessing the implementation of the European regulations into the regulations of the Czech Republic and mapping the awareness of the public about issues of the transportation of dangerous goods in road transport. By processing specialized literature about this topic, it was found out that the implementation of the European regulations into the regulations of the Czech Republic was very flexible and fast. On the basis of the quantitative research by means of a questionnaire research among the public and drivers working in the transportation of dangerous goods it was found out that the public did not have sufficient information about the transportation of dangerous goods in road transport. On the contrary, drivers transporting dangerous goods are excellently familiar with this issue. With respect to the fact that the public has not enough information about the transportation of dangerous goods, the public administration should provide more pieces of information in the form of leaflets and promotion events. Furthermore, it would be appropriate to include basic information about transporting dangerous substances focused especially on conduct in case of traffic accidents of vehicles transporting dangerous substances into the courses and follow-up training at driving schools. Nowadays, a majority of the population possesses a driving licence but in the theoretical lessons, risks of the dangers of transportation of dangerous chemical substances in road transport are not mentioned.

Treating extraordinary situations connected with the leakage of dangerous harmful substances applied in the Brewery Eggenberg, a. s.
FUČÍK, Jaromír
The thesis treats the situation connected with the possible leakage of ammonia, applied in the Eggenberg a. s. brewery as cooling medium. It deals with the so-called worst variant of the accident {--} leakage of the maximum possible amount of the substance. The introduction is devoted to the legislation concerning the dangerous chemical substance, prevention of serious accidents, components of the integrated rescue system and the fire prevention. The thesis contains the characteristics and the description of ammonia as dangerous substance, with focus on its toxicity and it analyses the results of a possible leakage. For the simulation of a possible accident, the software instrument TerEx was applied. The calculations acquired after entering the input data into the program served for determination of the zone where the detrimental concentration of ammonia would reach in case of a leakage. In comparison with the original calculations performed in the last years applying the ROZEX programme, the zone with a harmful concentration would be substantially extended. The results of the thesis should be taken into consideration in the emergency plan of the region and in the emergency plan of the Eggenberg a. s., Brewery, however, also the procedure of the intervention of the integrated rescue system components shall be specified. Moreover the way of performing the inspections in the section of the fire protection in subjects applying, processing or storing dangerous chemical substances and preparations is drafted. The thesis tries to draw the attention to the fact that also a relatively small amount of a dangerous chemical substance may cause a considerably significant accident.
