OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE

An employee's disease caused by factors harmful to health present in the working environment or the way work is performed may be considered an occupational disease. A prerequisite is that the disease is included in the list of occupational diseases and has been confirmed indisputably as a result of the assessment of working conditions. The procedure for determining an occupational disease of an employee is conducted by the competent state sanitary inspector on the basis of evidence, in particular data contained in the medical certificate issued by a doctor and assessment of the employee's occupational exposure.

If you have been diagnosed with an occupational disease and you are an academic teacher, you cannot work overtime. Non-academic staff may not be employed overtime. Consent to overtime work may be given by the rector only at the employee's written request.

HARMFUL CONDITIONS

If you have worked in harmful conditions, you can request a certificate of employment confirming this fact. On the basis of the possessed documentation, the workplace may issue a certificate of work in special conditions or of a special nature.

Proceedings aimed at determining whether an employee meets the conditions for acquiring social insurance benefits, including early retirement, fall within the competence of ZUS units.

If you have additional questions about accidents, occupational diseases or factors harmful to health in the working environment, harmful conditions, visit FAQ or contact HR Center or Occupational Health and Safety and Fire Safety Department.
