Abstract:
The author presents his own experience in the area of prophylaxis and cooperation with safety and health services as well as with occupational hygienists. The attention is turned to an essential difference between two terms "employees" and "workers". The proposed model of integrated prophylactic care is described and the need for cooperation between Trade Unions, National Insurance Company (ZUS) and Agricultural Insurance Company (KRUS) is highlighted. In the author's opinion the integrated occupational health services, safety and health services and occupational hygiene should be a future model of workers' health protection in Poland. Integrated units should cover with their activities all employees throughout the country.
