OHS training

Before you start working at the University of Warsaw, you must receive occupational health and security training. The procedure looks like this:

1. The employee receives an OHS training form from the representative of their faculty.
2. The form has to be delivered to the OHS Inspectorate at 8 Oboźna Street, room 1 (Main Campus) and stamped (this has to be done before the first day of employment).
3. The form should then be submitted to the faculty where the employee works, and after completing the on-the-job training, the employee may receive a signature confirming completion of the OHS training.
4. The stamped form should be submitted along with other documents to the Human Resources Office (Guest Lecturers employed within the framework of the Integrated Development Programme submit all documents to Welcome Point).
