Failure to sign safety documents does not equal refusal to follow safety rules or constitute gross negligence.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal regarding the termination of an employment contract due to the employee's refusal to sign safety regulations. The lower courts had found that the employee's objection to working hours justified immediate dismissal without notice, but the Supreme Court clarified that merely refusing to sign documents is not equivalent to refusing to apply the resulting safety rules. The court held that such an action lacked the malicious intent or gross negligence required for immediate termination under Polish labor law.
