Summary

The subject is focused on potential security threats that arise from the environment with the aim of highlighting strategies limiting the negative effects of threats, including the basic principles of environmental protection.

A breakdown of environmental threats is presented, and several of them are analysed in relation to the work environment.
The content of the thematic areas is chosen in such a way that it presents the issue to students as a whole, the affected areas of the environment, the solution of the given issue in strategic and legislative documents of a national or international nature, the implementation of preventive or corrective measures, etc.
