Plánková, Barbora ; Rozehnalová, Jana (referee) ; Maradová, Karla (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with work categorization falling into the issue of occupational health protection. The theoretical part is devoted to current legislative reguirements of the EU, the Czech Republic and relevant standards. It also provides a general overview of the system of public health authorities together with a more detailed description of the work categorization topic and related concepts and requirements. This thesis has been made in cooperation with Varroc Lighting Systems, s.r.o., Nový Jičín. The practical part deals with the suggested change of categorization of the optimized assembly line work positions for car rear lighting (B479 OUTER RL). The main aim of this work is to check the correctness of the classification of individual work positions. The intention of updating the categorization is also to reduce the negative impact of critical risk factors of working conditions, which brings benefits for both employees and employers. The specific course of the classification of individual risk factors with a focus on the noise as a critical risk factor is demonstrated on the riskiest work position of the assembly line. In the end, the achieved results of updated classification of all positions are evaluated. The follow-up changes and the resulting benefits of updating the categorization, including other practical recommendations, are also summarized.

Health risk assessment of selected workplace factors in furniture manufacturing in various firms
SEDLÁČKOVÁ, Lucie
We encounter many risk factors in furniture production work environment. Presumed factors in my thesis were noise, dust, vibration, workload and working position. Any work might have impact on persons' health. That impact might be both positive and negative. That's why we have to deal with a protection of workers' health preventively. An integral part of this protection is hygienic supervision, for which employers must classify work processes into categories. In the theoretical part I focus on specification and detailed explanation of all of the concepts and topics connected to my thesis. I also focus on an assessment of health risks and diseases associated with them. One of the possible applications of my thesis is the use in practice. It should assist the employers evaluate their workings and I would like to familiarize them to all of the production risks. The goals of my work are to specify wood processing risks and evaluate proposals on measures to protect workers' health and assess their feasibility in practice. I tried to achieve my goals through research questions, which are: Which risk factors occur in furniture production work environment? Are those factors categorized correctly? Are protecting measures for employees´ health implemented? The thesis was realized as a quality research, especially due to only local conduction of the research and missing statistical data representativeness. The need of openness to the new research findings is a huge advantage. The thesis was developed with the help of the secondary data analysis, using a professional literature, laws, notices and protocols and apparent observation. The objectives of the thesis were fulfilled, risks of the furniture production work environment in selected firms were defined and protecting measures for workers' health were evaluated. It was determined that expected work environment factors are really occurring but with lesser frequency. In addition, two new factors appeared, namely, chemical substances and visual strain. It was also found out, that measures to protect workers' health were well-processed and realizable.

The Health Risk Assesment of Employees in ARPIDA Center.
KOLÁŘOVÁ, Michaela
The target of my work was Health risks evalution of employees in ARPIDA center. This facility provides care for the persons with physical and multiple disabilities. Employees were evaluated for the following professional groups: physical therapist, special educator, teaching assistant, personal assistant and rehabilitation pool lifeguard. For my research I have set the following research questions: ?What are the conditions for the categorization of works in connection with the operation of ARPIDA center??, ?Is the work of workers with direct contact with handicapped persons with endurable physical stress??, ?Are the factors at work of all employees ARPIDA center same and is the same as classifying these factors into categories?? The thesis was based on the application of a qualitative survey. The data collection method was used to interview with employees and then it was taged by secondary data analysis methodology compiling study of expert sources. Based on this research it was found that the factors do not work at all studied the same profession, the same is not their classification into categories. Some professions are burdened by excessive physical exertion. Lifeguard pool doesn´t expose to physical exertion, but his work activities affect climatic conditions and exposure to chemicals. Factors in a higher category than the first, can negatively affect the health of workers, especially physical load factor. For more specific evidence that physical stress factor could be in the category of the third, risk, I recommend to accredited or authorized measuring of physical activity in the profession a physiotherapist. This bachelor thesis can serve as a resource to increase awareness of employees who are professionally engaged in work with handicapped persons and may be the basis for further research in this field.

KOČEROVÁ, Dana
The aim of this work is not only to be familiar with the history and current legislation relating to health and safety at work, but mainly with the application of legal standards in the specific conditions of the selected company with a focus on selected workplace. Occupational health and safety of workers in the performance of work tasks is one of the fundamental duty of every employer. This obligation arises mainly from the Labour Code, which imposes a number of duties and rights not only on the employers but also on the employees and trade unions. The main pillar of occupational health and safety at work is the searching and evaluation of risks at work - prevetion of risks at work. An integral part of this problem is the categorization of work, safety of technical equipments, personal protective equipment, work hygiene, occupational medicine. Equally important is the area of fire protection and ecology.
