The aim of the study is to analyze how Polish employers fulfill their responsibilities in terms of providing safe and healthy working conditions, including: standards for risk assessment, and adaptation of machinery to legal requirements. The research was conducted by questioning 2000 economic entrepreneurs and based on the results from the questionnaire prepared by the expert team. The results prove that, despite the adjustment of Polish law to EU standards, Polish employers still do not adequately fulfill their obligations in terms of occupational health and safety . Moreover, the study shows that implementation of the OSH management system supports the implementation of existing legislation related to safety at work.

Celem artykułu jest analiza sposobu wypełniania swoich obowiązków przez polskiego pracodawcę w zakresie zapewnienia bezpiecznych i higienicznych warunków pracy, w tym: norm dotyczących oceny ryzyka i dostosowania maszyn do wymogów prawnych. Badanie zostało przeprowadzone na przykładzie 2000 przedsiębiorców i oparte na wynikach kwestionariusza przygotowanego przez zespół ekspertów. Wyniki dowodzą, że pomimo dostosowania polskiego prawa do standardów UE, polscy pracodawcy wciąż niewłaściwie wypełniają swoje zobowiązania w zakresie bezpieczeństwa i higieny pracy. Co więcej , badania pokazują, że wdrożenie systemu zarządzania BHP wspiera wdrażanie istniejącego prawodawstwa dotyczącego bezpieczeństwa w miejscu pracy.
