AIMS AND SCOPE

The Principles and Methods of Assessing the Working Environment (PiMOŚP) is a quarterly magazine published since 1985, addressed to employers, services and all persons responsible for and interested in preventing risks and creating  a proper working environment.

The journal is a publication of the Interdepartmental Commission for Maximum Admissible Concentrations and Intensities for Agents Harmful to Health in the Working Environment, indispensable in assessing risk related to chemical agents and physical factors in the working environment and in establishing appropriate medical, organizational and technical prevention.

We publish both materials of the Commission (documentation and methods of determining chemical agents and physical factors at workstations) and the source/review articles.

 We are open to publish scientific articles which address different risk factors in the workplace: chemical, physical, biological or psychological.
