Abstract:
International conventions, European directives and national legislation, in regulating the protection related to bodily integrity and health of workers at work, use the term complex „health and safety at work”. Duality of terms is dictated by duality purposes of these regulations: bodily integrity aim stop prevent accidents and work health aimsto avoid illnesses. Safety is intended to maintain the employee’s work capacity by preventing and removing any hazardous or noxious factors which can cause either work accidents or occupational diseases.
