Although nearly 95 years have passed since Polish mining authorities have been instated in the newly forming 2nd Republic of Poland, their goal to supervise mining plants in order to improve the safety and work conditions of miners remained the same [3]. This overarching goal was reinforced in different iterations of mining laws and decrees throughout modern history. The Polish mining authorities pay special attention to promoting safety culture among mining entrepreneurs and miners themselves. This is done by a wide variety of means including informational meetings with the mining plants’ staff regarding the causes of incidents and accidents and entrepreneurs’ actions undertaken in order to improve the state of safety, scientific conferences where issues of occupational safety and health (OSH) as well as technological innovations are discussed, publications ranging from a monthly scientific journal to brochures about hazards associated with mining, prizes for people and institutions with great merit in the betterment of miners’ work conditions and safety (Fig. 2 & 3) and competitions which promote OSH. The State Mining Authority also utilizes new media and shares best practices in mining on its website in addition to informational movies and animations on its YouTube channel. Furthermore, Polish mining authorities cooperate with different domestic and foreign likeminded institutions in the field of OSH. The actions described in this article are a testimony to the mining authorities attachment to promoting safe and responsible behavior among miners and their efforts to improve their safety and work conditions.
