  • Topic of the issue: Refraining from particularly dangerous work - taking into account civil law contracts and inspection competences of National Labor Inspectorate inspectors
    The legal obligation of every employee is to perform voluntary work under the employer's supervision. The situation is no different in the case of work classified as particularly dangerous. The exception to the rule is when you refrain from working - for safety reasons. The possibility of refraining from work will also apply to particularly dangerous work - regardless of the fact that above-average technical and organizational measures are used to ensure safety - including ongoing supervision of the work.

  • News not only from the country (4)
  • Almost like a prosecutor. Labor inspector as a public prosecutor in proceedings in petty offense cases (6)
    The key tasks of the National Labor Inspectorate include prosecuting offenses against employee rights and other offenses related to the performance of paid work.

  • Employee's right to be offline. Rest in times of digitization of work (11)
    An employee's right to be offline should not be identified solely with remote work. The problem existed much earlier, although there is no doubt that it became more severe during the pandemic.

  • Analysis of gasometric systems used in underground mining plants
    The article presents gasometric systems that are currently used in Polish underground mining plants. The number of telemetry control panel racks used in individual hard coal mines was analyzed, and detailed lists of sensors and other devices installed in underground workings were presented for several selected mines. Of the wide range of sensors available in hard coal mines, over 95% of those used are only four types (measurement of CH4, CO, air velocity and pressure difference). Attention was paid to the increasing importance of underground stations (control units) in the gasometric systems of modern mines. Selected data from 2023 were compared with analogous data from 12 years ago. Attention was also paid to the ongoing process of unification in the production of sensors by individual companies.

  • Our neighbor the wolf. What is he really like?
    Wolves were one of the most common predators in European forests. The transformation of the environment and human policies have brought these animals to the brink of extinction. Many years of efforts to protect the wolf have improved the situation somewhat. Today, there are approximately 2,000 individuals living in Poland. However, due to the increasing density of human development, the wolf, whether it likes it or not, is increasingly a neighbor of humans. Wolves, like other large predators in Poland, have much less space to live due to human activity. We take away their territory and are surprised that they appear more and more often near our settlements.
