The adaptation and in-service training system, for newly-hired employees, based on the example of a coal mine

This article presents the training system, adaptation and enhancement of skills by workers recruited for jobs in the coal mine. As mentioned in the introduction, a secure environment and safe behavior at work do not arise spontaneously, but must be developed according to a professional program. Therefore the enterprise studied here focused on improving safety, inter alia through the development and improvement of workers’ skills, including advanced training and acquainting them with threats which can appear in their working environment. Research was performed in order to identify the most common problems in the field of training courses and professional adaptation in the coal mine. The research has shown which areas of OHS (Occupational Health and Safety) need to be corrected.
