Major industrial accidents result in vast loss in natural environment, animals and human life. Starogard Gdański, where Polpharma SA Pharmaceutical Works is based, must focus on well-trained municipal services and on the crisis management system. It is necessary because the company has been qualified into the category of upper-tier establishments posing high risk related to major industrial accident occurrence, and its production technology is mainly based on hazardous substances. Therefore, it is worth considering a question to what extent the municipal services and the crisis management system in Starogard Gdański are prepared to face a major industrial accident in Polpharma SA Pharmaceutical Works.
