The survey of knowledge of young people was conducted in the form of testing, which had been realized by the Business Academy in Pezinok. According to the results obtained it can be concluded that the training to deal with emergencies, crisis situations respectively, self-rescue and the provision of mutual assistance should be incorporated into the educational process of the secondary high school students.
