Academic year 2018/2019
Supervisor: Ing. Jaroslav Kašpárek, Ph.D.  
Supervising institute: ÚADI all courses guaranted by this institute
Teaching language: Czech
Aims of the course unit:
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with basic terms of dangerous activities in the sense of the regulations and laws. Students will be made familiar with the duties of machine operators, the duties of supervisors (site managers, leading crews) mainly from aspect of making safe working environment and avoiding accidents and breakdowns during controlling the earthwork machines.
Learning outcomes and competences:
The graduation of this course is obligatory for all persons interested in attaining licence for controling earthwork machines. Students will gain knowledge necessary for every officer who controls activities of the staff doing earthwork. His/her control work must correspond with valid safety regulations and laws.
Prerequisites:
Students are required to have basic knowledge of technical mechanics, physics, higher mathematics, machine parts and their mechanism, physics of materials and principles of electrotechnical engineering.
Course contents:
The course is aimed towards the safety regulations valid for work with the earthwork machines. The course includes the site investigation, the securing of the excavation operations, the operation conditions of earthwork machines, the duties of machine operators, the forbidden handling with machines, the manner of machines transport on public roads etc.
Teaching methods and criteria:
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline.
Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Part of the course can be excursions to the companies, which manufacture or operate the equipments from the thematic area of education.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes:
The presentation at seminars called The verification of knowledge of safety regulations
Controlled participation in lessons:
The attendance at lectures is voluntary.
The attendance at seminars is obligatory, recorded by the teacher. The form of compensation of missed lessons (in justified cases) is solved individually with the subject guarantee person.
