Often, employers wonder if employees who have altitude surveys and perform work at heights from time to time need to be trained every year?  The regulations stipulate that an employee performing work at height should be subjected to periodic training in the field of health and safety at least once a year.

From the provision of § 15 section 1 of the Regulation of the Ministry of Culture and Social Security of 27.07.2004 on training in the field of ohs (Dz.U. No. 180, item 1860, as amended) shows that periodic training of employees employed in workers’ positions is carried out in the form of instruction, at least once every 3 years, and in positions where particularly dangerous work is performed, at least once a year.

In addition, in accordance with § 80 sections 1 and 2 of Chapter 6, particularly dangerous works to the MPiPS Regulation of 26.09.1997 on general health and safety regulations (i.e. Journal of Laws of 2003 No. 169, item 1650, as amended), particularly dangerous work is understood as:

• the works referred to in the chapter referred to above, and
• work identified as particularly hazardous in other health and safety regulations or in the operating instructions for equipment and installations, and
• other work at increased risk or performed in difficult conditions, considered by the employer to be particularly dangerous.

Particularly hazardous work referred to in the Regulation on general health and safety regulations includes:

• construction, demolition, renovation and assembly works carried out without stopping the operation of the workplace or its parts,
• work in tanks, ducts, interiors of technical devices and in other dangerous confined spaces,
• work using hazardous materials,
• work at height.
