This guide was produced with a view to assisting all entrepreneurs whose business activity is related both to the United Kingdom and Poland.

Protection of health and safety at work is one of the fundamental elements of any business activity. Not only is it a legal or ethical requirement, but given the steadily growing awareness and expectations of customers – one of the facets of business competitiveness.

Legal systems regulating occupational safety and health issues in both countries differ considerably, which may lead to misunderstandings and poorly informed business decisions. Our goal is to provide Polish entrepreneurs – in a comprehensive form – with British health and safety requirements, and the British ones with an overview of legal provisions on work protection in Poland. Hence, we give you the first Polish-British guide on health and safety requirements at work – hoping that it will familiarize you with legal issues concerning entrepreneur responsibilities and help Polish entrepreneurs build respectable business which is done responsibly and which stands out in terms of work culture and good practice – a commendable business!
