Abstract
In the metallurgical processes, due to the amount and meaning of the workplace safety threats, there is a necessity of implementing the steps connected with their elimination or limitation. Undertaking the steps should be based on the identified legal requirements and the risk refraining from lack of the compliance. The most meaningful, within the mentioned scope, are the requirements concerning design, construction and use of the machines. The aim of the presented study was identification of the essential requirements stated to the machines’ manufacturers, minimal requirements dedicated to the work equipment’ users. One has pointed the potential risk of lack of compliance and described the ways of taking up such a risk depending on the identified legal requirements.
