Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim is to acquire basic knowledge about the formation of dangerous concentrations of combustible dust, gases and vapors of flammable liquids that may be present in technological processes, both during normal operation and during startup and shutdown technology as well as in technological equipment damage. The student will be tempted to define the risk of an explosive atmosphere and to apply appropriate measures to eliminate it. Understanding the possibility of initiating explosive files in production processes so that the student is able to apply preventive measures to limit them. Based on analysis and evaluation of fire and explosion hazards, the student will be able to define appropriate measures to limit the possibility of flame spread and fire. Acquired knowledge will be applied to selected technological processes, their risks and possibilities of preventive protection.

Summary
Předmět Základy protivýbuchové ochrany se zaměřuje na základní informace z oblasti protivýbuchové prevence. V rámci předmětu se studenti seznámí se základní legislativou a používanými definice a základními pojmy. Dále získají informace z oblasti požárně technických charakteristik hořlavých plynů, par hořlavých kapalin, prachů a jejich kombinací společně s provozními vlivy, které na ně mohou působit. Pozornost bude věnována analýze rizik a možnostem eliminace rizika výbuchu případně jeho omezení za využití principů primární, sekundární a terciální protivýbuchové prevence. Předmět je zakončen problematikou a použitím protivýbuchové prevence v praxi a vybraným případovým studiím.
