Lighting of the workplaces has a large impact on safety, proper vision comfort and visual efficiency. The aim of this article is to present an analysis of the lighting of the workplaces of people working on scaffoldings. The researches were carried out on 23 frame-type facade scaffoldings. The scaffoldings were examined from March to October 2017. Due to the specificity of works performed on scaffoldings, the researches were carried out in accordance with an individually adapted research program. The study analyzed the illuminance at particular points and variability in the lighting uniformity in a given workspace. Analysis of the obtained results showed a large variability in illuminance in workplaces of people working on scaffoldings. The measured illuminance levels in the workspaces on the one hand were higher than the minimum illuminance levels defined by the construction site standards, but on the other hand, illuminance levels that may dazzle the employees were also recorded. The luminous intensity depended on the season, time of day, location of the scaffolding, as well as the presence of a protective net installed on the scaffolding, which reduced the occurrence of values that could lead to situations in which the worker could be dazzled. The protective net installed on the scaffolding also reduces the differences in lighting in the scaffolding workspace, improving the lighting conditions of the workplaces.

The situation of transsexual persons in Poland is not precisely known; there are only estimates determining the scale of the phenomenon. The lack of information fosters stereotypes and, not infrequently, injurious appraisal; fear of the unknown is also produced, and is gradually turning into widespread prejudice. A social analysis of the phenomenon of transsexuality is hampered by the predominance of the hetero-normative discourse, including in scholarly spheres. The basic issue addressed by the author is the acceptance of transsexual persons, viewed from the perspective of their own personal experiences. These observations concern both the sphere of personal life as well as functioning in the macro-social space (school, work, etc.). In each of these spheres, a change of gender produces complications with which transsexual persons must grapple as they strive to live in harmony with their psychologically intuited gender.
