PL

Ergonomiczna kultura może być wyjaśniona jako składnik ogólnej kultury bezpieczeństwa odnoszącej się do ergonomii środowiska pracy z jednej strony i postaw użytkowników komputerów i ergonomicznie bezpiecznego korzystania z komputera, określonej przez przepisy bezpieczeństwa pracy, z drugiej strony. Oba te aspekty stanowią ważne komponenty wewnątrz ogólnej kultury bezpieczeństwa. Artykuł analizuje różne czynniki kultury ergonomicznej w różnych środowiskach na Łotwie, jak i częściowo w Czechach i na Słowacji.

Ergonomic culture can be explained as a component of general safety culture related to ergonomic working environment on the one hand, and computer users’ attitudes towards ergonomically safe computer use, defined by work safety regulations, on the other hand. Both those aspects are important components within general safety culture. The article analyses various factors of ergonomic culture in different environments in Latvia, as well as partially in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
