Summary/Abstract: At the end of 2015 The Sejm of the Republic of Poland passed a law on the Integrated Qualification System. The Act of 22 December 2015 on IQS introduced solutions and opportunities for integrating all qualifications obtained within formal and non-formal education, ensuring the quality of granted qualifications, confirming competences acquired outside the education and higher education systems. The question is: there is a need to introduce market-based qualifications in the field of health and safety at work considering new developments and opportunities to acquire professional qualifications. Market qualifications could be applied for by people interested in working in the area of a given qualification, who would show a separate part or all of the learning outcomes required for a given qualification. The article presents the idea of the Integrated Qualification System and the report from the research on the demand for market qualifications. The survey was conducted in the environment that is most relevant to health and safety at work - employers, OSH specialists and entities operating on the market in this area.
