Slovak
The subject is taught in the winter semester with excursions to enterprises and production companies for the purpose of practical teaching and practical application of methods of identifying and evaluating factors in the working environment by supervising working conditions.
EU and national legislation. Authorization to perform PZS. Overview of PZS competencies. Roles of PZS in health risk management. Analysis of risks in the work environment. Assessments of workers' workload (physical, mental and sensory workload). Health supervision - supervision of working conditions, supervision of employees' health. Basic types of health damage from work. Sensory groups - Medical examinations. Assessing employees' health fitness for work by performing preventive medical examinations
Advice aimed at protecting health at work and preventing occupational diseases and work-related diseases.
In Slovakia, occupational health service is a separate field of employment on the labor market, therefore the subject aims to provide students with basic knowledge and understanding of the content and activities of occupational health service with the aim of preparing students for further employment in the field of preventive occupational medicine. After completing the subject, students will be able to evaluate factors in the work environment, work with the necessary legislation, and will be able to independently assess risks from exposure to factors in the environment. I can apply my knowledge in counseling and educational activities. Students will be able to evaluate and use the acquired knowledge and at the same time will be able to apply the acquired knowledge in practice.
