The activity of each employee (whether it is an ordinary worker or supervisor) in a workplace is always organized and target-oriented. Its effectiveness and efficiency depend on the type of motivating incentives ortheir lack. So finally they depend on efficiency of motivating systems used in a company, in the area of Work Safety and Hygiene management, and on employees' individual characteristics, to which we can count age, the employment period and education level. In the article authors present the results of research on compliance with health and safety among employees of Polish coal mines combined with employment security. The authors present the issue of cognitive dissonance and its impact on employees' attitudes, with particular emphasis on safety. The article shows a big disparity between what employees say and do. A elear lack of correlation is noted between the declaration of superiority of following Work Safety and Hygiene rules over any other value and the accidents statistics in defined ranges of the employment period of the polled. The authors believe that the presented contra-dictions in the employees' attitudes, which might be a serious source of danger, should become a matter of special attention and corrective actions which will embrace both the management and team members.
