Personal safety and security in society are questions which are in the long term of interest to specialist and laymen alike. To this broad area belongs the study of objective conditions of work safety and perceived safety in the workplace. In this article we direct attention to the analysis of selected social (e.g. education, age, gender) and personal (e.g. work satisfaction, well-being) factors relating to the perceived work safety. The 5-th European Work Conditions Survey (EWCS 2010) data were used, in which 43 816 respondents from 34 countries took part.
