Popis: SUMMARY: The Occupational Safety and Health Act prescribes the employer's obligation to train workers to work safely before starting work, but also during work in case of changed circumstances, for example, another workplace, new technology or new work equipment. The training of healthcare workers to work safely also includes the use of personal protective equipment. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted an anonymous survey among primary care health workers with questions about previous training to work safely and their opinions on whether they need to be further educated on the use of personal protective equipment. The questionnaire was filled out by 184 healthcare professionals, most of them (56%) employed in family medicine practices. 101 respondents were trained to work safely for their current job, 50 of whom were also trained in using personal protective equipment and believe that this helped them in their work during the epidemic (47 respondents). The majority of respondents (166 respondents) expressed a desire for additional education on using personal protective equipment. Occupational health protection of healthcare workers is an important factor in preserving the functionality of the healthcare system in Croatia. It is one of the measures to prevent occupational injuries and occupational diseases, where quality training for safe work and the use of personal protective equipment also play an important role.
