Summary/Abstract: The connection between visual communication and occupational safety and health has a long tradition in Poland. The beginnings are seen in the interwar period, when artists representing the visual arts began to take up socially important topics in their works and create visual materials of an informative and educational nature, e.g. in the form of occupational safety posters. Currently, such materials are being developed, e.g. as a result of the activities of the Central Institute for Labor Protection – National Research Institute and institutions and enterprises cooperating with it. The article attempts to characterize visual tools currently used in activities in the field of shaping pro-safe attitudes towards workplace safety. They play an important role in shaping attitudes towards work safety by providing visual information on workplace safety. The article discusses: occupational safety posters, infographics, photographs, videos and animations.
