“…Their knowledge and experience, especially in small and medium-sized enterprises, is the main factor determining the level of OSH in the company. Large enterprises, often operating within a corporation, have top-down procedures that greatly improve safety at work ( Chiroli et al, 2019 , Mansour, 2018 , Beardwood and Kainer, 2015 ).…”

Background The epidemic is affecting the global economy, plunging many industries. The global extent of the epidemic and government controls, restrictions and constraints have led to imbalances in world trade and have put many companies under pressure. The epidemic is a test of individual companies' ability to operate effectively in the new environment. It is up to managers to mitigate its impact on business. The aim of the article is to identify the activities of employers in Poland related to the protection of workers with the developing epidemic COVID-19. Methods A survey was carried out among the employees of OHS services employed in enterprises in Poland. The research was conducted in three stages at two-week intervals. The obtained results were subjected to statistical analyses. Results In the analysed three periods a total of 588 answers were obtained, which allowed to formulate conclusions. The research showed that in connection with the COVID-19 epidemic, about 30% of the plants updated their occupational risk assessment, about 40% updated their safety instructions, about 90% of the plants equipped their employees with additional personal protective equipment. Conclusions The COVID-19 outbreak in Poland resulted in taking additional actions by employers to protect workers. Systematicity (methodicality) of these activities depended mainly on the seniority of the OHS service. As a border internship indicating a different approach to an emergency situation related to the epidemic, 7 years were set.

“…Education is a strong tool in the systematic construction and promotion of knowledge and skills in all fields, as well as in creating desired attitudes towards issues of occupational safety and health (OSH), including the environment, the safety of technical equipment, the optimization of working conditions, and first aid (Bail et al, 2019;Chiroli et al, 2019;Kozík and Bulla, 2013).

First aid and prehospital care practices are fundamental in helping victims, often saving lives. This study aims to present the results of a bibliometric analysis regarding first aid, as well as a case report on teaching in first aid to a group of undergraduate students. The latter presents a project developed at a Brazilian public university for engineering students. The core modules addressed in the project were: first aid concepts, specialized distress calling, site safety, injury mechanism, primary and secondary approaches, bleeding control, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, clinical emergences, seizures, intoxications, fractures, burns, immobilizations, and victim transport. A systematic literature review was conducted, which was based on structured protocols, in four databases: Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Significant data were analyzed, such as years of publication, main journals, and more frequent terms in first aid teaching. The SOS-UTFPR Project aims to provide scholars of engineering and related fields with theoretical-practical knowledge about first aid. As of 2021, it has 3 graduated groups, thus generating relevant data for this research. Its main purpose is to train citizens capable of making assertive decisions in emergency situations, whether at the university, work, home, etc. With this, it was possible to promote the dissemination of the Transfer of Knowledge and Technology (KTT) by training individuals to multiply information, techniques, and acquired knowledge, in order to act preventively and save lives.

“…The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work has published an EU guide on workplace adaptation during the COVID-19 epidemic. As risk assessment is the starting point in occupational safety management [9,10], it is assumed that employers are required to verify the level of risk when there are any changes to the work process, even if they only affect workers' mental health. It is suggested that this additional risk assessment should also be based on current data on the prevalence of COVID-19 in the area where the company operates.…”

The epidemic is affecting the global economy, plunging many industries. The global scale of the epidemic and government controls, restrictions and constraints have led to imbalances in world trade and have put many companies under pressure. The epidemic is a test of individual companies’ ability to operate effectively under new conditions, including occupational risk management. The research was conducted using a questionnaire method, the study was attended by 199 respondents. The research is burdened with an error in the selection of statistical sample units, which resulted from the respondents’ involvement and their truthfulness. The research was burdened with an estimation error of 0.07. The research was divided into two parts related to freezing the economy and social life and their defrosting. The aim of the article is to assess the occupational risk management activities that determine the prevention of OSH in an extreme situation, which was the immediate freezing of the economy and social activity in connection with the epidemic and then their gradual unfreezing. The conducted research allowed confirming the accepted hypothesis that the effectiveness of actions protecting the health of employees, and thus the production capacity of enterprises in a crisis situation, is related to the size of the plant, and this may be indirectly related to the system of organization of occupational health and safety services in the country.
