Poland: Changes to the Documentation of Initial OHS Training as of 12 December 2025

As of 12 December 2025, a regulation of the Minister of Family, Labour and Social Policy of 24 November 2025 entered into force, simplifying the confirmation of completion of initial occupational health and safety (OHS) training.

Following the entry into force of the new provisions, it is permissible to confirm completion of both general and on-the-job safety training in either paper or electronic form. The confirmation is made by the employee and the head of the relevant organisational unit. In the case of electronic confirmation, the employer makes an appropriate annotation in the initial training record. Electronic confirmation of completion of the instruction, or a printout thereof, may be attached to the personal files.
