Safety and Environmental Management
Graduate profile
The study program Safety and Environmental Management focuses on preparing graduates who are experts in the field of occupational safety and health protection, fire and environmental engineering. Emphasis is placed on the ability to practically apply the acquired knowledge and independently work scientifically to solve scientific problems in the field of occupational safety, fire and environmental engineering.
EDUCATIONAL GOALS
Knowledge:
A graduate of the doctoral study program knows:
- characterize the issue of safety, health protection at work, environmental and fire engineering in the field of industrial enterprises and in the sphere of services,
- describe and explain knowledge from the engineering fields of fire and explosion theory, risk management methods, environmental science and environmental chemistry, extinguishing agents and fire safety, toxicology, remedial technologies and waste management or environmental protection and safety,
- characterize problems in the area of safety and designing safer workplaces, further understands the principles of environmental science and the basis of their technologies and the basis of production quality,
- characterize documentation related to the field of safety and health protection at work, environmental studies and related legislation and can describe engineering solutions to problems in the field of safety and the environment,
- characterize and classify dangerous substances, describe their properties and, based on their properties, describe the methods of handling these substances,
- describe and explain the issue of risk analysis, evaluation and management and, based on own findings, draw conclusions from the facts found,
- characterize quality in the area of safety and environment and increase its level,
- describe knowledge in the field of workplace safety and dedicated technical equipment,
- characterize and classify parameters of the working environment and describe solutions to increase safety,
- describe knowledge in the field of fire-technical characteristics of the workplace and working environment and can process documentation related to fire engineering.
