The Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Policy has amended the existing regulation on highest permissible concentrations and intensities of harmful factors for health in the work environment (Dziennik Ustaw 2026 poz. 447). This substantive change modifies the occupational exposure limits that employers must comply with to protect workers from hazardous chemical, physical, and biological agents in the workplace.

Employers subject to occupational health and safety requirements should review updated permissible exposure levels and adjust workplace monitoring procedures accordingly. The regulation is binding and failure to comply with updated exposure limits may result in enforcement action under Polish occupational safety law. Compliance officers should coordinate with occupational health specialists to assess current workplace conditions against the new limits.
