Abstract
The articles 55 to 58 from the special chapter entitled “Temporary and Shared Workplaces” of the Safety at Work Act contain key provisions regarding the occupational safety issues and relations. Having in mind the purpose of the Act to “introduce measures to stimulate improvement of employee safety and health at work, to prevent injuries at work, occupational diseases, other diseases in relation to work and protection of working environment”, the said provisions contain an obligation imposed upon employers “who perform construction or installation work, harvesting of woods or dockyard works, to organize a workplace and secure work performance in accordance with protection at work regulations before beginning work at the temporary workplace (the Article 55).
If two or more constructors perform the work, i.e. two investors have to have safety at work coordinates during the phase of construction realisation. Coordinator’s tasks are set by the Act. “To be appointed as a coordinator, a person has to meet conditions regulated by special regulations enacted by the Minister competent for work”. The author in this article makes comments on provisions contained within the regulations.
