TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - Poland in transition to the European union (in the context of meeting standards in occupational safety and health) JO - International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics A1 - Koradecka, Danuta SP - 463 EP - 479 VL - 7 IS - 4 N2 - Economic transformation has had a positive influence in Poland on statistical indices that characterize occupational safety and health (OSH). Surprisingly, working conditions have not deteriorated. Methodological differences make comparing statistical data in various countries difficult. OHS standards in Poland are harmonized with European and international ones. Testing and certification, quality and OSH management systems are very important, as are education and training in OSH and international cooperation. Increasing unemployment is a significant threat to the development of OSH or even maintenance of its current state.
