Knowledge of construction of production machines and their structure components.

Credit:

A condition for the award of credit is participation in the exercises and the preparation of a semester project in the scope corresponding to the Methodological Approach to Risk Analysis and Risk Reduction (especially according to lecture 6). Scope of the semester project:

• Description of the equipment under assessment
• Analysis of EU legislation for the equipment under assessment
• Analysis of harmonised standards for the equipment under assessment
• Hazard identification based on the block diagram of the equipment under assessment
• Hazard identification based on the life cycle of the equipment under assessment
• List of all identified hazards with their initial risks
• Application of the iterative three-step method to reduce risks for ten different hazards

Examination:

Test consisting of 25 questions (max. 25 points).
Semester project on an approved topic (max. 5 points) for which the following is assessed:

• Correctness of the analysis of EU and Czech legislation for the assessed installation (1 point)
• Correct analysis of harmonised standards for the equipment under consideration and their application in risk reduction (1 point)
• Completeness of the list of all identified hazards (1 point)
• Design of risk reduction design measures (step 1) in accordance with harmonised standard type C or B as appropriate (1 point)
• Correctness of the formulation of the risk reduction information (step 3) in the form of safety instructions in the instructions for use or on the machinery. Including their consistency with additional safety precautions (step 2) in the case of the use of PPE (1 point) 

Points are counted only for the first semester project handed in. In case of correction and resubmission of the term paper, the points earned previously will not change. In case of failure to meet the deadline (without proper excuse), only 50% of the points earned will be counted.

Overall rating:

29 points or more A; 28 points or more B; 26 points or more C; 23 points or more D; 20 points or more E; less than 20 points F

The attendance at seminars is compulsory. Lectures are voluntary, students who do not attend it must be familiar with the subject matter before the following seminars. Presentation of the semestral project is compulsory.

The objective of the course is to introduce the student to the requirements on the safety of production machines and equipment, methods of system approach to risk identification in production machines, analysis of risks, their assessment, minimalisation and documentation.
The student understands the requirements on the safety of production machines and equipment and learns to apply the systematic and methodical approach to design, construction and applications of production machines and systems from the viewpoint of their safety.
