theoretical analysis and laboratory tests of phenomena arising during the action of the equipment protecting against falls from a height and industrial safety helmets,   theoretical work and experiments on new solutions of personal protective equipment,   work on safer methods of using personal protective equipment,   development of requirements and test methods for equipment protecting against falls from a height and safety helmets.

The second, equally important group of tasks is work related to certification for the "B" safety sign of equipment protecting against falls from a height and industrial safety helmets.  This work includes:  

The laboratory actively participates in the standardisation work on equipment protecting against falls from a height and industrial safety helmets, which is coordinated by the PKN Problem Commission no. 21 on Personal Protective Equipment of Employees.  This work primarily encompasses:
