Item type: Item , Assessment of crisis readiness to move a patient from the airport with suspected Ebola(Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2019) Blahová, Marta; Hromada, MartinThe aim of this article is to verify the readiness of patient transport from the airport with symptoms for Ebola disease by the rescue services of the Integrated Rescue System of the Czech Republic. Detection of possible risks and causes of risks during patient transport. In one part of the article, the part is devoted to the current legislation regulating the cooperation of IRS, economic measures for crisis situations, functions of state material reserves management, material security of selected IRS components and the work of BIOHAZARD TEAM. The main part of the article describes the course of the extraordinary event. There is a chapter devoted to the analysis and evaluation of risks during transport. It also deals with the issues of transport, risks and problems that may be encountered by the intervening members of the IRS units. In conclusion, the proposed measures to help minimize risks in the transport of infected patientsItem type: Item , Current Approaches of Occupational and Safety Health Management in Work Environments Containing Nanoparticles(Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2019) Adamec, Vladimír; Shüllerová, Barbora; Köbölová, Klaudia; Pavlíková, Stela; Procházková, Danuše; Zeman, TomášThe development of nanotechnology is particularly in recent years very dynamic and is applied in many not only technical branches. This is not possible to say about monitoring of possible health and environmental undesirable influence. The first area of possible risk assessment is work environment because there is a lot of possible ways to exposition. The aim of the paper is to analyze current situation in the field of occupational safety and health management in the workspace with occurrence of nanoparticles not only like the engineered nanomaterials. Because there is a lot of influence which could have the negative impact on the employee's healthItem type: Item , Soil and Water Contamination due to Illegal Artisanal Refinery Activities: A Case Study of Okarki Community, Niger Delta Area, Nigeria(Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2019) Zaria, Usman Abubakar; Gwary, Kwatamshuwa; Galadima, Muhammed; Hasan, Diya'uddeenUsing a combination of field visits, laboratory experiments and analyses, this study examined the impacts of illegal artisanal crude oil refineries on the environment. Total Hydrocarbons (THC) and heavy metals in the soil and water bodies as well as pr were determined and compared with both national international standards. The study found THC and heavy metals such as Iron and Manganese to be significantly high in both soil and water samples. It was found that the artisanal crude oil refining activities in the Niger Delta Area of Nigeria generate and discharge environmental safety hazards that are far beyond the statutory and intentional acceptable limitsItem type: Item , The Development of Penetration Charges for Increasing the Efficiency of the Interventions of Fire Rescue Service Units(Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2019) Barčová, Karla; Lichorobiec, Stanislav; Říha, LadislavDuring building fires is often necessary to deliver nozzles with water to the desired point of intervention and the wall or ceiling must be penetrated for energy supply and the entrance of persons. Access openings for extinguishing are created with hand tools or explosives, but it is a very time-consuming activity and fragmented material may endanger persons. Another possibility is the use of charges with a water layer, which absorbs the shock wave of the explosion at the back and at the same time significantly suppresses the fragmentation of the building element on which the charge acts. The penetration charge developed in two versions allows a sufficient penetration of the partitionItem type: Item , Experimental Testing of Burglar Resistance of Fenestration(Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2019) Jankura, Richard; Figuli, LuciaCurrently, windows and glass facades are increasingly being used as a building envelope. These are elements that are functional and aesthetic, but there is a need to focus on their safety. Windows as a part of protection system are one of the most vulnerable assets, so they need to be addressed. The paper is focused on the experimental investigation of two types of windows that are commonly used in buildings. The subjects of the interests are wooden frame windows and PVC frame windows. In the experiment, burglar resistance was investigate, carried out by dynamic tests with different weights of steel balls dropped from various heights. Results of the experimental measurement pointed to the limit energy glass panels were broken. Windows with safety film were also tested. The measured results were further evaluatedItem type: Item , Questionnaire Survey of the Skills of Water Tender Drivers at the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic(Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2019) Jánošík, Ladislav; Jánošíková, Ivana; Poledňák, Pavel; Šudrychová, IzabelaThe paper summarizes results of the study aimed to evaluate the change of firefightersengineers’ driving skills after attending the one-day training course. The research focused at drivers of firefighting water tenders. These trucks represent the first-response vehicles in case of emergency rides. The water tenders form the majority of firefighting vehicles at units of the Fire Rescue Service of the Czech Republic with the highest mileage per year. They represent the most important fire appliances at each professional fire station. Water tender drivers’ primary task is to transport both firefighters and vehicles safely without any traffic accident to the intervention point. Therefore, the drivers should acquire the best driving skills. The results of the survey shows both a positive impact of the course - driving skills improved after passing the course, and a negative finding - the insufficiently short duration of training rides on the polygon. Drivers’ skills were examined after a certain time from passing the course. This third phase of our survey showed that “avoiding a sudden obstacle when emergency driving” occurred as a most frequent critical situation. This fact relates with the most frequent cause of firefighting trucks’ traffic accidents in last four years, according to the Statistics of traffic accidents.Item type: Item , The research on explosion suppression effect of aluminum alloy explosion-proof materials cleaned by ultrasonic(Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2019) Shoutao, Hu; Shangyong, Zhou; Jiancun, Gao; Le, Wang; Shaokang, JiaPremixed gas explosion pipe system was established to study the change rule of explosion pressure and pressure rise rate of 10% methane/ air premixed gas under four condition that no material was filled, used material was filled, new materials was filled and cleaned materials was filled in explosive pipe. The results show that compared with the used material and cleaned material, the average maximum explosion pressure was reduced by 21.62% and the average pressure rise rate decreased by 84.80%. The results show that the suppression performance of used aluminum alloy explosion-proof materials improved greatly after the used materials is cleaned.Item type: Item , Assessing the Human Factor in Truck Driving(Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2019) Delaney, Darren; Klockner, Karen; Toft, YvonneHuman factors assessment techniques are commonly applied to a variety of workplaces to examine the nature of operations and how key functions are controlled operationally; however, these tools appear to overlook key aspects of truck driving, particularly the driver’s relationship to the driving experience. The fundamental issue is with the ability to completely decompose truck driving and accurately document the truck drivers working environment will be problematic. Therefore, to demonstrate how a truck driver moves between each series of sub-tasks will require a purpose-built assessment tool that that is both practical and relevant to truck driving.
