Preparedness of the Plzen Regional Emergency Rescue Service to a Highly Infectious Disease Incident.
BREJCHA, Martin
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to evaluate the current preparedness of the Plzen Regional Emergency Rescue Service to a highly infectious disease incident. The topic of the thesis was chosen with regard to an increasing probability of occurrence and spreading of a highly infectious disease in Czech Republic. I decided to evaluate the situation of the Plzen Regional Emergency Rescue Service, because I am an employee of this organization and I live in the Plzen region. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis focuses on the literature search and exploration of facts from legal rules and documents regulating the matter of highly infectious disease incidents and the characteristics of highly infectious diseases spreading through person-to-person contact. The practical part of the thesis assesses the availability of personal protective equipment for the emergency exit groups and for the specialized bio-hazard team dedicated to dealing with emergency situations in relation to highly infectious disease incidents. This part of thesis also evaluates the material resources and equipment, trainings of the specialized team, cooperation with the components of the Integrated Rescue System and with selected health care institutions. The practical part of the thesis also includes description of the Plzen Regional Emergency Rescue Service's internal documentation. The bachelor thesis contains in particular two improvement suggestions for two aspects related to the preparedness of the Plzen Regional Emergency Rescue Service to a highly infectious disease incident. Regarding the technical equipment, we suggest setting up a working team that should deal with specifying requirements for a call for tenders for a new ambulance car and a special transporting and isolating equipment for people. Regarding documentation, we suggest re-working of existing Bio-hazard team checklists. The director of the Plzen Regional Emergency Rescue Service supports the practical implementation of the bachelor thesis outputs in the organization. In this respect, the bachelor thesis has a practical impact on the employer of the author.

Rights and duties of citizens in their own healthcare
NEDOROSTOVÁ, Soňa
The present thesis deals with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) at work in manufacturing plants where there are harmful factors that may have an adverse effect on human health. In the employer-employee relationship, both parties have their respectable rights and duties in the extent that is primarily made by legislation the purpose of which is to eliminate as far as possible the damage to the health of workers at work. A very important factor in this problem is a personal approach to each of the interested parties, which, however, could not be comprised by any legislation. For that reason I decided to pay attention to this subject and to find out how far and how profoundly employees understand this issue. The thesis consists of theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part is conceived in the form of an hourglass: the roof is based on the international legal anchor of health protection at work, it narrows down to the EU legislation, and further on the legislation of the Czech Republic. The risks and risk factors of working conditions are listed, as well as preventive and protective measures, then in more detail, I have dealt mostly with the manner of protection of specific body parts and organs. In conclusion, I inquire more into the consequences of damage to health at work. In the practical part I introduce this objective: to examine general knowledge of the risks associated with damage to health as a result of performance at work. A partial objective was to determine the extent to which workers, during the work performance and when they are exposed to harmful factors leading to possible damage to health, use PPE to protect their health. Next, I set three hypotheses that I evaluated statistically. The first hypothesis assumed that at present time, people of working age prefer better work performance to the protection of their own health. The results have established that this is not true. The second hypothesis assumed that working people are not aware of all the risks associated with damage to health as a result of the performance of the work. This hypothesis was confirmed. The third hypothesis assumed that most of the workers, the work of whom requires the use of PPE, actually use them to protect their health. This statement was confirmed. To obtain the necessary data, I used an anonymous questionnaire, composed of simple closed questions, aiming, in cooperation with employers, to a specific target group of respondents, i.e. those with risk factors at work. The collected data was statistically evaluated. The results of the investigation showed that workers do not generally understand the risks associated with damage to health as a result of their performance at work; nevertheless the rate of use of PPE is generally high. The results of my work could possibly serve as a base for adjustments or changes in the concept of training concerning health and safety at work.

Effect of individual protestion to members of the Fire and Rescue Service of Prague in different stress situations.
NÁVRATOVÁ, Šárka
Social and economical development of human society, in this case on the example of Czech republic, logicaly leads to improvement and invention of new individual protection instruments. Maximum protection in proportion to the lowest mobility limitation is the purpose. Diploma thesis explains, firstly, the basic concepts to make clear, what the issue concerns and getting better understanding for people.. It also deals with clothing comfort for firefighters. Clothing comfort can be divided into four groups and as the complex of essential for proper performance and convenience of trespassing firefighter. It is a condition where the optimal physiological functions of the body and neither clothing nor the environment does not create discomfort. Next section of diploma thesis describes the personal protective equipment to protect life and health trespassing firefighter and thereby increase its work in various special occurrences. Each unit of firefighters should be equipped with personal protection equipments, and instructed on how their use it, maintenance and periodic inspection. Another section of the theoretical part is devoted to the means of individual protection, which also protects the body of firefighter and his respiratory system. There are the types of breathing apparatus and a description of the knowledge that a firefighter must have to use the breathing apparatus to be optimized in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and do not endanger the life of the user. Term minute ventilation is there also explained. Each person has a unique minute ventilation, which is very individual and depends on the work performed. Next point is the kinds of chemical protection suits, which are used during interventions, where the environment is contaminated with hazardous substances. The work of firefighters affects also negative effects. This issue is discussed in the next chapter, which describes the negative effects caused by the occurrence itself and the negative effects caused by climatic conditions at the location. The particular hierarchy of the fire brigade described in the next section, that deals with the General Directorate of Fire Rescue, the Fire Corps Rescue of country and fire protection units and their categories.

Analysis of safety in transport and servicing of transport facilities for the selected company
ŽAMBERSKÝ, Michal
The thesis, entitled "Analysis of safety in transport and servicing of transport facilities for the selected companies" deals with safety and work-related injuries in transportation and servicing of transport facilities. Occupational injury is caused by a set of several interacting factors. These factors are known as the main source and cause of work-related accidents, which affect the formation of accidents. The most important element in the protection of health and safety is prevention. To evaluate the risks is one of the fundamental principles of the concept of occupational health and safety policy that is enforced in all countries espousing the principles of safe enterprise. The need to protect the health of the individual is already firmly established even in the most basic legal document such as the Constitution of the Czech Republic. The aim of this work is to analyze the factors that are involved in causing accidents at work and on the basis of the analysis, to provide rules and recommendations for farms so that they serve as an aid in the elimination of induced injuries.

Use of protective equipment at selected sites to protect the airway and hearing
VAŇKÁTOVÁ, Denisa
Bachelor?s thesis is divided into two parts, a theoretical part and a practical part. The theoretical part of this thesis covers; problems in the field of providing protective tools, employers responsibilities connected with providing these tools, knowledge about kinds and choices of filtration and isolation aids for airway protection and knowledge about aids for ear protection. The theoretical part is processed by a secondary analysis of technical literature, legal rules, technical articles and website resources. Quantitative research is used in the practical part of this thesis. Questioning is a chosen method and a questionnaire is a method for collecting data. The questionnaire was completed anonymously and was created only for the purpose of this thesis. At first, a pre-printed questionnaire was handed over for completion to employees of chosen companies via safe technicians. Employees had 7 days to complete the questionnaire. It consisted of 15 closed questions. The respondent could choose from two to three suggested answers and one answer where the respondent could answer by his or her own words. The criterion for the choice of companies for this research was a requirement that employees at workplaces had to use personal protective tools. Two companies were chosen of which one runs a foundry and the second deals with the production of building components. Both companies want to be presented anonymously. Workplaces of both companies indicate the risk of noise for our ears and chemical polutant nad dust in the air for our airways. The data are processed by means of computer programmes; Microsoft Office Word and Microsoft Office Excel. Statistical tables and graphical illustration are used to evaluate the data. The results are interpreted in absolute numbers and percents. The aim of the thesis is to create an overview of protective tools used for the protection of airways and ears within chosen worplaces, and to find out the convenience of used tools due to their efficiency which was set by a producer. Furthermore, the aim is also to find out whether protective tools are used during work, whether employees keep regular maintenance of protective tools and finally whether the breaks at work are observed. Four hypotheses are given: Hypothesis no. 1: Employees in an observed group, who have to use personal protective working tools, use the right types of tools. The hypothesis no. 1 was confirmed after evaluation of used protective tools considering recorded levels of noise, dust and chemical substances at workplace and with taking professional structure and answers of the respondents into consideration. Hypothesis no. 2: Employees in an observed group, who have to use personal protective working tools, really use these tools . The hypothesis no. 2 was also confirmed on the basis of the answers of employees. Hypothesis no. 3: Employees in an observed group, who have to use personal protective working tools, carry out regular maintenance and change of these tools. According to all the respondents in the survey , 67 % of respondents do not make change of tools which protect their ears until the tool is damaged. Furhermore, 57 % of employees do not make change of tools which protect their airways until it is damaged. The hypothesis no. 3 was disproved Hypothesis no. 4: Employees in an observed group,who have to use personal protective working tools, observe safety breaks at work. In the company B the safety breaks were not established. That is the reason why it was not possible to confirm or disprove the hypothesis no. 4. The results of this survey will be handed over to the employers of certain companies. On the basis of data gained in the survey ,the heads of the companies have materials which they can use for change in scope and content of course trainings considering personal protective working tools and safety breaks.

Standardization of work and working conditions regarding to safety in selected company
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.
