title: [Internal control of working conditions as a form of occupational health and safety management--experience of Western European countries and the situation in Poland].
abstract: Good occupational health and safety management not only protects workers from hazards and health impairment, but also contributes to the success of the enterprise as a whole. The internal control of working conditions in an enterprise, carried out by an employer, is one of the forms of occupational health and safety management implemented widely in many western countries, for example in Scandinavian countries and Ireland. This method may serve employers as an useful tool for stimulating and developing programmes aimed at improving working conditions and supporting workers' health protection against various hazards occurring in the work environment. The experience of the western countries in developing and implementing the internal control system, and the adaptation of the principles of this system to suit Polish conditions helped the authors to produce a set of general rules and guidelines addressed to employers who decide to use the method of internal control in their enterprises.
