The Central Institute for Labour Protection – National Research Institute has been organising the occupational safety poster competition since 1997. The purpose of the competition is to obtain posters promoting the issues of occupational safety and health protection of man in the working environment.
The competition is organised in cooperation with Academies of Fine Arts (Cracow, Warsaw, Lodz) and under the patronage of the Minister of Labour and Social Policy and Chief Labour Inspector. The participants are artists, professors and students of artistic universities in Poland and abroad. The jury of the competition consists of representatives of artistic professions, science, ministries of health and labour, and trade unions, as well as enterprises whose business is related to the topic of the posters. Three prizes and five honorary mentions are awarded in the competition, and 50 posters are selected for exhibitions in Warsaw and Cracow. The 21 editions of the competition, held in 1997-2011 were entitled Stress, Computer, Occupational Risk, Noise, Chemistry, Ergonomics, Agriculture, Building industry, School, Transport, Electricity, Disabled persons, Biohazards, Stop that Noise, Young workers - safe start, Lighten the load, Labour culture, Risk, Lighting, Maintenance, and Active 50+. They gathered about 4 000 designs, and over 900 were featured in exhibitions and catalogues. In 2008 the Institute issued PLAKATY/POSTERS - a catalogue of posters devoted to the issues of occupational safety and health protection of man in the working environment, containing 925 pictures of posters from the Institute’s collection, including archived posters – 49 from the pre-war period, 73 from post-war years, and 803 posters from 16 editions of the contest. The catalogue was awarded a honorary mention in the 49th competition „Beautiful Books 2008”.
In April 2010, begins a new - already nineteenth - edition of the Occupational Safety Poster. The competition is organized by CIOP-PIB from 1997 in collaboration with the Academies of Fine Arts in Krakow, Warsaw and Lodz.
It gives me great pleasure to present to you a collection of fifty poster designs related to a subject area which is both very important and very broad - labour culture. A contemporary approach to business management often points to the fact that shaping safety culture constitutes an integral part of enterprise management and is an important element of building up its public image. A high level of safety culture has its measurable effects: a decrease in the accident rate and reduction in losses consequent upon incidents. With regard to its composition, safety culture is made up of the recognised safety values, attitudes and patterns of safety behaviour shared by all employees. Shaping up of the safety culture, however, requires not only constant attention to employees’ behaviour (offering encouragement to eliminate excessive risks at the workplace and promoting behaviour orientated towards protection of health and life) but it also calls for optimization of physical working environment (e.g. technology, equipment, procedures). Labour culture involves employees’ attitudes, their personality features, interpersonal skills and interpersonal communication, respect for norms of social and professional life, ability to handle difficult situations, to solve conflicts, integrity, language culture, etc. All those different aspects of labour culture are portrayed in various ways in poster designs made by artists, graduates and students of fine arts both from Poland and abroad.
