The Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, together with the Prague 10 Youth House organises science camps outside Prague and in Prague, at Faculty of Science, every year. All camp leaders must be trained in occupational health and safety (OSH) before the start of the camp to ensure maximum safety of all participants. So far, temporary material has been used for training, a presentation that did not fully meet the requirements of the camp management. Therefore, the aim of the work was to develop suitable didactic materials for OSH training for leaders at science camps. The theoretical part of the thesis compares presentations on OSH available on internet, which however proved to be unsuitable for the required purpose. The practical part describes the developer products, didactic materials, which can be found in the appendixes. These are a guideline that is primarily intended for the trainer and three presentations that are intended for face-to-face training. The guideline serves as a help for trainers who will offer the training in OSH.

The diploma thesis is focused on the creation of suitable educational aids (posters) for support and education in the field of technical education for pupils at the second stage of primary school. Posters should provide a basic insight into the issue of manual machining of technical materials, specifically the shape of wood and safety and health at work and handling of these materials. In the theoretical part, the basic description and definition one of the topic. In the practical part, three areas for the processing of educational posters are selected. One in the area of health and safety and the other two in the area of shape processing of wood.

The theme of this thesis is occupational safety and health. The thesis contains legislation of occupational health and safety, basic concepts related to this topic, occupational health and safety management, risk analysis methods. The second part is focused on occupational safety and health at manufacturing company. In this section, the functioning of OSH in the company through internal documents and questionnaires is analyzed. Also in the conclusion are suggested possible improvements of occupational health and safety.

Occupational safety and health is a broad area which makes part of a state policy. The aim of OSH is to make a system of rules protecting students gaining working experience, employees and employers. It endeavours to limit all negative aspects related to work performance or occupation. Observance of OSH rules is an indispensable part of work performance of all medical workers. That also applies to students of the study field General Nurse while performing their practical training, thus practice. Students get acquainted with the OSH issues in the first grade of studying in a subject called treating / caring procedures. Before taking up practical training they should be able to follow the OSH rules and understand consequences linked to their non-observance. The aim of this diploma thesis is to chart how the students of the field General Nurse keep the OSH rules and find out students´ knowledge in this area. The empirical part was carried out in a form of quantitative investigation. A questionnaire was used as a method to collect data and was meant for students of the second and third grades of the General Nurse study field. Results were compiled into graphs. Results of survey confirmed that the students keep the OSH rules. However, in the area of personal hygiene they are considerably irresponsible. Their knowledge concerning OSH is very good and the students are informed well. Based on the results a leaflet has been created and may be used as study or information resource for students of medical fields of study.

The diploma thesis is focused on so called new risks, which currently include the risks associated with various nanomaterials - their production, introduction into practice and use. The paper summarizes the up-to-date knowledge about the characteristics of nanoparticles used and it proposes a procedure to estimate potential consequences of their exposure. The experimental part of the paper is represented by a case study, which introduces the practical application of the proposed procedure aiming at estimated exposure to nanoparticles on the workplace where metal working is executed and resulting occupational risks. The aim of this part of the study was to measure selected parameters of aerosols using a special measuring system working on the principle of laser photometry combined with diffusion charger and detector using Faraday cage. The object of the measurements was to determine the numerical concentration of nanoparticles present in working environment and the representation of size groups of submicron particles. The measurement procedure was designed in accordance with ČSN EN 689, ČSN EN ISO 16000-1 and ČSN ISO 8756 standards and data gained were subsequently interpreted. Afterwards the results were used to design the measures to reduce the risk of health damage when facing chronic inhalation...

The thesis is focused on OSH in the selected organization. Its aim is to analyze the situation and propose measures to eliminate undesirable differences. This thesis consists of theoretical part and practical part. The theoretical part explains all the used methods and procedures (such as simple point method, PDCA and checklist from the Bezpečný podnik application). The objectives of the work have been met, the analysis found variations that have been thoroughly addressed. The main variations were insufficient address risks, lack of basic documents and OSH training. All risks were analyzed using simple point method and the most serious risks were further conducted. The missing documents were created and the structure for OSH training was created too, as well as all necessary documents. These measures have therefore covered all the important shortcomings of the organization.

Commuting is regular travelling between one?s place of residence and the place of work. A lot of us surely remember our grandmothers and grandfathers talking keenly how they used to go to work to a farm, weaving factory, distillery and further facilities. It used to be usual that people had jobs at distances they could walk. On the other hand nowadays it is quite normal that some people have their places of work tens of kilometres from their homes and they have to commute by various means of transport, get up early in the morning and return late in the evening. Technical evolution has made transport faster but it also brought longer distances to travel to work. Commuting is particularly necessary at places with imbalance between supply of and demand for jobs. About one third of inhabitants commute in the Czech Republic and the travel costs represent approximately ten per cent of family budgets. People that spend more time travelling to work are wrong tempered, they are tired and stressed by commuting and occupational accidents occur as a subsequence of these factors. The aim of the Thesis ??Commuting time and workplace accidents?q was to discover what the average commuting time was and whether commuting affected the health condition of a human. Another aim was to find out how frequent workplace accidents were and how consistent employees were in reporting workplace accidents. 5 hypotheses were set to reach the aim. A quantitative method of questionnaire survey was applied on the research; the data were collected from commuting employees of a health facility, a school and a manufacturing company and compared. The data analyses did not prove that commuting caused health problems, so the hypothesis No. 1 was refuted. The second hypothesis suggesting that people from villages spend more time commuting than those living in towns was confirmed. Another hypothesis that each employee has suffered from a workplace accident was on the other hand refuted. The fourth hypothesis suggesting that fatigue, bad concentration, insomnia as a subsequence of commutation cause workplace accidents was also refuted. The last hypothesis suggesting that employees often do not inform their employers on their workplace accidents was also refuted. The Bachelor Thesis may improve knowledge of the time spent by commuting to work and subsequent occurrence of workplace accidents. The manual designed proposes preventive measures against workplace accidents and brings information in this field.

As the theme of my Master's Thesis I choose the topic of health and safety risk analysis. The reason is that in every company are risks that threated the safety and health of workers. The aim of Master's Thesis is to analyze the risks OSH management system in selected company. The Master's Thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical an practical one. In the theoretical part I at first briefly outline the issuer of safety and health at work and then I proceed to a summary and characteristics of the most important current legal of the Czech Republic in the field of occupational safety and health at work. Another important part of the theoretical part is devoted to the management of occupational health and safety risks and methods designed to identify and assess risks. The practical part will be devoted to identifying and assessing risks and then determine measures to ensure the safety and health of works at Valeo Výměníky tepla k.s..
