      The political and economic situation in Ukraine has caused that from the beginning of 2014 we have been observing in Poland a continuous increase in the number of employees from beyond our eastern border. The motive that encourages employers to employ Ukrainians is the fact that they have lower wage requirements than Poles. The vast majority of Ukrainians find employment in the construction industry, logistics (truck drivers), production, gastronomy and agriculture. Work in these industries is associated with a high risk of an accident at work due to supported machines, devices or vehicles.

      The external cause of an accident at work is not everyday, even hard work, if on the day of the event there were no extraordinary circumstances in its provision. However, this extraordinary circumstance is the excessive overworking of the employee, inter alia, abnormal work on the day of the accident or (exceptionally) in the long run. This view is all the more justified if overtime work is accompanied by particularly unfavorable weather conditions in which it was performed and the occurrence of an additional factor in the form of stress.

The current demographic changes leading to an aging workforce and increasing needs in relation to production efficiency have given impetus to work on increasing the potential of cooperation between people and robots. When, however, man and robot share a common workspace, the issue of security becomes extremely important. In practice, this means that you need to analyze each application individually in this respect.

      The article is basically based on the analysis of data on accident incidents involving representatives of only one nationality, among many others working in Poland in 2016. However, among all foreigners, the citizens of Ukraine were the largest number of injured in accidents at work, which seems to justify this approach to the topic. This situation should not be astonishing, because for many years it has been the nation - the largest number represented on the Polish labor market, not counting the native one.
