Accident modeling in the Czech Republic has a long tradition among safety-oriented fields. This course is designed for engineers aiming to work in a certain area of industrial safety. The course offers a unique opportunity to get acquainted with world-renowned computing models. In fact, these skills are used by professionals in the fields of fire prevention, explosion and toxic leakage, but also in risk analysis and prevention. A variety of examples of real crashes are used to demonstrate how calculations are to be used properly. Although these calculations are usually carried out by hermetically sealed computer codes, their conceptual knowledge will help to quickly orientate and avoid mistakes in accepting absurd, overly conservative or overly optimistic results. After completing the course, it is desirable to use contacts in organizations providing similar expert services abroad.
