Accidents at work and occupational diseases have a negative impact not only on the psychophysical condition of employees and the image of the company, but also, above all, on productivity, and thus on social and economic development. Ensuring safe and hygienic working conditions is the responsibility of every employer but without additional forms of support it does not suffice to prevent and stop accidents at work. The employer should constantly implement measures to improve safety so as to prevent accidents at work. One of such activities may be to promote safe and healthy working conditions. It is a program that allows raising employees’ awareness and knowledge about occupational hazards and risks related to their work, as well as about methods of protection against effects of these hazards and risks. The purpose of the article is to present the concept of promotion and its tools in popularizing safe and hygienic working conditions. The article is also an attempt to answer, on the basis of the results of surveys conducted in the form of individual reviews, the question whether the promotion of safe and hygienic working conditions improves the safety of employees, reduces or eliminates accidents at work, and broadens employees’ knowledge.

The paper examines a situation in which an employee is entitled to terminate the contract of employment without prior notice. The case under examination occurs when the employer commits a serious violation of workers’ rights by failing to provide safe and hygienic working conditions. The paper also presents topic related controversies that have arisen in the doctrine and judicature and tries to establish at which point one may speak of a breach of fundamental labour rights and on the basis of which regulations the employer may be held liable. The authors also try to determine whether certain situations could constitute a basis for termination of the employment contract by the employee, at the same time giving rise to the right to claim damages from the employer. Other issues touched upon in the paper include the absence of a catalogue of infringements in the Polish Labour Code and the way of assessing the weight of various infringements.

The aim of this study is to define the origins and scope of the right to be offline from a European perspective, both with regard to legal regulations and specific sources of labor law in selected European countries and the resolution of the European Parliament adopted on January 21, 2021, calling on the European Commission to regulate the right to disconnect in a separate directive. These considerations are enriched by the analysis of European-level surveys on working conditions of workers using information and communication technologies (ICT) both before and during the pandemic, with particular emphasis on the impact of digital tools on the life and health of remote workers. The analysis of the results of the presented research both from the perspective of technological development and the situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, allows to identify significant threats to the safety of remote workers, primarily in the psychosocial sphere, which in turn may lead to the conclusion that it is necessary to regulate the right to be offline at European level.

Celem niniejszego opracowania jest określenie genezy oraz zakresu prawa do bycia offline z perspektywy europejskiej, zarówno mając na względzie regulacje prawne i specyficzne źródła prawa pracy w wybranych państwach europejskich, jak i przyjętą 21 stycznia 2021 r. rezolucję Parlamentu Europejskiego wzywającą Komisję Europejską do uregulowania prawa do odłączenia się pracowników w drodze dyrektywy. Rozważania te wzbogacone są analizą prowadzonych na poziomie europejskim badań ankietowych dotyczących warunków świadczenia pracy przy użyciu technologii informacyjno-komunikacyjnych (ICT) zarówno przed pandemią, jak i w jej trakcie, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem wpływu narzędzi cyfrowych na życie i zdrowie pracowników świadczących pracę w formie zdalnej. Analiza wyników przedstawionych badań zarówno z perspektywy rozwoju technologicznego, jak i sytuacji wywołanej przez pandemię COVID-19, pozwala zidentyfikować istotne zagrożenia dla bezpieczeństwa pracowników zdalnych przede wszystkim w sferze psychospołecznej, co z kolei może prowadzić do wniosku, iż konieczne jest uregulowanie prawa do bycia offline na poziomie europejskim.
