In accordance with the Institute’s statute of 16 February 2005, the mission of the Central Institute for Labour protection is:

  • carrying out scientific research aimed at new technological and organisational solutions, which are useful in the design of working conditions that conform to occupational safety and ergonomics requirements,
  • determining scientific foundations for the development of socio-economic policies of the Republic of Poland in the field of occupational safety and health.

Background
The Institute was established in 1950 by the act of the Polish Parliament of 4 April 1950. Being the leading Polish institution in the field of occupational safety & health (OSH), in 2002 it was granted the status of a national research Institute by the Council of Ministers.

It includes the following scientific disciplines: medical sciences (preclinical), social sciences, technical sciences (engineering and environmental protection). Research and development activities are related to the following fields:

  • identification and prevention of chemical and aerosol hazards,
  • noise, vibration and EMFs,
  • safety engineering,
  • ergonomics and work physiology,
  • stress at work,
  • optimisation of work processes,
  • static electricity and ionization,
  • optical radiation and lighting of work places,
  • prevention of major industrial accident hazards,
  • personal protective equipment,
  • OSH management systems,
  • education and dissemination of information in the area of OSH and ergonomics.

The multidisciplinary approach of the Institute, integrating different branches of science, offers the unique opportunity to create a critical concentration of Polish research focused on the improvement of safety and health in the working environment.
