Development of occupational safety and health training programs in Poland.

Abstract

The author describes a Polish-Swedish cooperative venture to develop curricula and training materials in the area of occupational safety and health. The resulting courses, which are consonant with the mandates of the revised Polish Labor Code, have been used to train yearly 1,300 people, including employers, employees, and 300 new trainers. A project to extend such training to workplaces is under way.
