Extrication of tanker after accident on motorway and highway; possible consequential damages after accident.
Moravcová, Pavlína ; Krajňák, Michal (referee) ; Libertín, Josef (advisor)
This diploma thesis addresses optimal technology and method for extrication and subsequent towing of crashed tank trucks. Ignorance of vehicle construction and wrongly chosen technology leads to subsequent after crash damages. Professional approach leads not only to after crash damages minimization on the vehicle, road and the surroundings, but also to convoy minimization etc. Another covered topic is tank vehicle construction (semi-trailer, trailer) because knowledge of tank construction and knowledge of transported material enable quick and safe extrication. Correct extrication method (which is also described in the thesis) can be used thanks to knowledge of crashed tank construction. Not knowing all needed information leads to after crash damages. This thesis will focus mainly on how to prevent subsequent damages.

The Reactional Capability's Ensuring of the Fire Brigade of the South Bohemian Region's Operational and Information Center during It's Endangering by Selected Types of Emergencies
DUBSKÁ, Šárka
This bachelor thesis is about situations of jeopardy of operational and information center of the Fire Brigade of the South Bohemia Region that can occur during the extraordinary events (incidents) such as floods and leak of dangerous gas. For better explanation there is small brief about characteristics of main type of dangerous gas and substance and characteristics of dispatching centre. Chosen problem is solid by the research about ability to maintain readiness of the operational and information center of the Fire Brigade of the South Bohemian Region. Two main hypotheses were verified by the research. The first hypothesis was disproven and the second was proven correct. H1: Altitude and location in the building is important in case of protection of the operational and information centre of the Fire Brigade of the South Bohemia Region. H2: Air condition with carbon filters is sufficient in the case of leak of dangerous substances. Verification of hypothesis made its part in fulfilling of goals in this thesis. The goal was to propose options for ability to maintain readiness of the operational and information center of the Fire-Brigade of the South Bohemia Region. The conclusion of the research that has been made is simple - the best way is to form a backup workplace - proper equipped. The benefit for theory is that some examples of extraordinary events - incidents - were explored and described. The functioning of the dispatching centre during those theoretical events was Explorer and described too. The benefit for practice could be found in propositions for securing of dispatching centre from the threat of poisonous gas leak and from flooding. The research that was made could be starting point that can trigger next research about other threats that can occur and jeopardize the dispatching centre workplace.

Awareness of the public of dangerous substances in cosmetic
NĚMCOVÁ, Kateřina
The title of my diploma thesis is "Awareness of the public of dangerous substances in cosmetic". It is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical. In the theoretical part, I focused on the history, general composition of cosmetic products and dangerous substances it contains. Considering the current trends of society I focused especially on decorative cosmetics. Because I have a negative experience with sunscreens, I concentrated on that issue in the last chapter of the theoretical part. The practical part is focused on the public's knowledge of dangerous substances in cosmetic products. The anonymous questionnaire was educative, because I assumed that many respondents would not inspect components contained in their cosmetic products. I made brief descriptions of the dangerous substances so respondents could get the most important information on this issue.

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.

The ability of nitrogen oxides to cause a major-accident
RÖSZLER, Tomáš
This bachelor thesis is focused on the potential of nitrogen oxides in the flue gas to cause a major accident. The aim of the bachelor thesis was to assess the potential of nitrogen oxides, which are a part of the flue gas, to cause a major accident by reacting with gas phase LPG. The theoretical part of the thesis describes the current state of prevention of major accidents and the handling of chemical substances, the legal framework of this topic and the system of research. It also describes the current state in the topic of flue gas, legal framework and its origin. Finally, the theoretical part describes nitrogen oxides, their origin, characteristics, dangerous properties and methods of their analysis. The aim of this work was to assess the risk posed by nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas, in this case exhaust gases of cars and heaters, in area of major accidents prevention and the ability to cause a combustion of gas phase LPG and consequently a major accident. The necessary data for this assessment were obtained by sampling the exhaust gas, determining the concentration of nitrogen dioxide in the samples, and by then carrying out an experimental determination of whether the contact of the gases at these concentrations would cause a combustion. To find out the concentration of nitrogen dioxide in the flue gas, the Saltzman flue gas sampling and subsequent analysis method was used. The results show that passenger cars with diesel engines have the highest concentrations of nitrogen dioxide in their exhaust gas. The results of experiments with gas phase LPG did not prove the ability of nitrogen dioxide to initiate a combustion of LPG at concentrations around 100 ?g/l, or to initiate a combustion with diesel car exhaust gas.

closed spaces- reason for closure, establishing boundaries, their designation, security, mode of the internal space
JIRÁŇOVÁ, Petra
The bachelor's thesis is focused on issues regarding closed spaces during an intervention- reasons for their closing, setting of boundaries, marking, security and mode of an inner space. In the introductory part are stated most common reasons for the closing of spaces. Bachelor's thesis is divided into theoretical and explorative parts. In the theoretical part are selected and described some reasons for closing a space during an intervention. In the theoretical part of bachelor's thesis are briefly described 12 reasons for a space's closing. For each reason is stated a bried definition, what each problem involves and whom it imminently endangers. Next is described a space, which must be closed. How are set and marked its borders, so no damage or harm to intervening persons takes place, and who takes care of the security of these closed spaces. Borders always change according to the cause. In some cases is a closed space small. For example, during fires with small range. But in some cases must come to pass the closing of large areas, in which an emergency occurs. These areas are then divided into individual zones, according to where certain dangers occur, where are Emergency service's organs situated, and where is an area, where no unauthorized person may enter, 's outer border. Sometimes these zones must be furtherly divided into individual sections and sectors. In all of these areas have intervening organs given actions and tasks in advance. Due to that were for given advance emergencies worked out catalogue files of model actions of Emergency service's organs in the area during an intervention. In these model actions are described tasks, actions and what organs are present during an intervention. The goal of this work was to find out if organs of Emergency service and emergency management are sufficiently prepared for the closing spaces of described individual situations. In the explorative part was asked the question: "Are the organs of Emergency service and emergency management prepared and equipped for occuring emergencies?" This question was put to a chief of the station, commander of a "C" platoon of Fire department of South Bohemia local department Prachatice. Results of these interviews proved that members of Fire department of South Bohemia local department Prachatice are sufficiently prepared for interventions in individual cases, which are stated in the theoretical part of bachelor's thesis. In particular, these include sufficient theoretical training via a form of training courses, practice of usage of protective suits for specific emergencies and breathing techniques. There are also performed tactical drills for these individual events in accordance with plans of Fire department of South Bohemia. If it included an extensive leakage of dangerous substances, firefighters are prepared to set up individual zones in closed space, carry out the rescue of persons found in said space and take measures to prevent further leakage of dangerous substance. Due to the reason of limited material equipment and the amount of serving firefighters in one shift, it is needed to request from a foothold of Fire department of South Bohemia local department České Budějovice an unit with special equipment suited for leakage of dangerous substances through Operation and informational system of South Bohemia. Identical question was also put to a worker of emergency management of Municipalities with extended competence Vodňany. It was clear from the interview that this worker of emergency management of Municipalities with extended competence Vodňany is very well acquainted with the problem of described emergencies. He overlooks sufficient technical equipment, readiness and actualization of individual plans of MEC Vodňany. He also participated in preparation training Zone 2015. He was able to describe to me in detail how Municipalities with extended competence Vodňany proceeds during stated emergencies.

Transport of dangerous substances by rail
STRAŠÍKOVÁ, Lucie
The bachelor thesis focuses on the transport of dangerous substances by rail. The transport follows the instructions of international legal regulation which is called Regulations Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Rail (RID). The Regulations is the main document for transport of dangerous substances in the CR and also in other forty contractual countries which accepted RID's conditions. Dangerous substances are transported a lot and the increase of transported substances in the future is predictable. The theoretical part of the bachelor thesis contains an enumeration of international and internal legal regulations which are related to problems of transport of dangerous substances. The theoretical part also describes risks of dangerous chemical substances and mixtures and the labelling of dangerous substances according to RID. The Regulations includes the description of particular categories of dangerous substances, the characteristic of substances and the pattern which is used on the precautionary sign. All the means of transport which are used for transport of dangerous substances are labelled according to UN system. This precautionary labelling must be on all the wagons. The important section of the theoretical part is the chapter focuses on activities and duties of safety advisers. The end of the theoretical part is the chapter about treatment with dangerous substances which includes packaging, loading and unloading. These goals were determined for processing of this thesis: To map and to describe the transport of dangerous substances from loading to unloading. To evaluate how safety the transport of dangerous substances by rail is. To evaluate preparedness of fire and rescue services for possible extraordinary events connected with leakage of dangerous substances during the transport by rail. Thanks to analysis of available literary sources and corresponding legal regulations was discovered that European regulations and international agreements are successfully accepted into legal regulations of the CR. For fulfilment of goals and for answer a research question, it was necessary to make qualitative research via prepared questionnaires. The questionnaire was created from sixteen open questions. These questions were aimed at safety advisers from different companies in the CR. The condition was: The companies have to deal with cargo transport of dangerous substances by rail according to RID. The questionnaire was mainly focused on duties and training of safety advisers, on the transport of dangerous substances by rail and their quantity, on the description of activities during loading and unloading, on activities of employees and fire and rescue services during the extraordinary events connected with leakage of dangerous substances. It is also focused on their own evaluation how safety the transport of dangerous substances by rail is. From the five addressed companies even four safety advisers were willing to cooperate and to contribute to creation of this bachelor thesis. They were willing to cooperate despite their workload. The goals were fulfilled thanks to gained data from the questionnaires. The research question was also answered. It was discovered that the transport of dangerous substances by rail is, according to specialists, safe for all the time during the treatment with dangerous substances. The most dangerous thing is the human failure during the loading and unloading processes. The fire and rescue services intervene during the leakage of dangerous substances which happens in the course of transport. The fire and rescue services cooperate with safety advisers and they solve the actual extraordinary event. Their preparedness is on the high level. It is because of regular training where it is simulated the leakage of dangerous substances according to inner emergency plan. Finally, some of the railway transit corridors for the regular transport of dangerous substances were mapped.
