Published: September 10, 2025 | Author: Bartłomiej Broda
An inspection by the National Labor Inspectorate (PIP) often raises concerns among employers. However, it’s important to remember that its purpose is not to punish, but to verify whether working conditions are safe and legal. The key to successfully completing an inspection is systematically maintaining orderly documentation and properly preparing the workplace and employees. In this article, we’ll guide you through the key stages of preparation.
First and foremost, PIP inspectors typically focus on verifying employee documentation. Make sure you have complete personnel files for each employee, including up-to-date medical examinations and certificates of completion of required occupational health and safety training—both initial and periodic.
Key documents to check:
- Work and remuneration regulations (if required).
- Complete occupational risk assessment documentation for all positions within the company.
- Register of occupational accidents and occupational diseases.
- Confirmation that employees have read occupational health and safety regulations and instructions.
- Working time records.
