The Polish National Association of OHS Service Staff Krakow Branch, brings together OHS professionals. Its activities are aimed at promoting occupational safety in companies, integrating the occupational safety and health environment in southern Poland, raising awareness of safety culture and developing the professional knowledge of its members. Over the years, the Department of Mining Engineering and Occupational Safety at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Resource Management has carried out a number of joint initiatives with the main aim of raising awareness of occupational safety.

The activity of the Department, which has been involved in OSH since the very beginning of its establishment, and which runs postgraduate studies in this field, allows for joint activities with the Association, such as co-organising the conference “Occupational Safety – Education and Good Practices”, which every five years brings together the OSH community in Lesser Poland, as well as students and graduates of postgraduate studies at AGH. During the event, Prof. Zbigniew Burtan, Head of the Department of Mining Engineering and Occupational Safety & Head of the Postgraduate Studies in Occupational Safety and Health, and Prof. Marek Cała, Dean of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Resource Management, received medals for their contribution to the activities of the Association and the promotion of occupational safety and health.
