title: Polish system of assessing occupational risk posed by chemical compounds.
abstract: According to the Polish Labour Code &elpar;Ustawa, 1974) employers are legally obligated to provide workers with information about occupational health and safety risks. Maximum allowable concentrations (MAC) and the results of determining chemical compounds in workplace air are used for assessing occupational exposure and risk. A computer-assisted system STER, developed in the Central Institute for Labour Protection, helps to register and document occupational risk assessment and all actions resulting from those assessments.
