The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical part of the paper summarizes findings of construction industry, works classification, selected risk factors of working conditions, health protection measures and the legislation in this field. This section is processed by the secondary analysis of data taken from literature, legislation and websites. In the practical part of the study, quantitative research was used, the interview method was selected and the data collection technique was that of a questionnaire. 270 questionnaires were distributed, 215 of them were returned back, the return rate was 75%. The questionnaire contained 16 questions. They were submitted in a preprinted form to be filled in writing by employees of selected medium-sized construction companies. The questions were aimed at identifying the respondents, at finding their views and knowledge. The aim of this study was to create a list of professions that are used in construction industry, on the example of selected construction companies, to characterize the actual or potential exposure to risk factors regarding individual professions, and to determine how much the company employees are informed of the way preventive care measures are provided. Two hypotheses were set. Hypothesis 1, workers are informed in which work category they are classified, has not been confirmed. The research results have shown that a great number of employees do not remember that they were informed of the category into which their work had been classified. Hypothesis 2, workers are informed of the preventive care measures provision, has been confirmed. The employees proved that they had been sufficiently informed about the medical facility providing them with preventive care. The research results will be forwarded to employers who, based on these findings, may take measures to increase their employees' knowledge in the field.
