Kontrola jako nieodzowny element bezpieczeństwa na przykładzie regionalnego centrum krwiodawstwa i krwiolecznictwa w Krakowie
Control as an indispensable element of security based on the example of regional centre of blood donation and blood treatment in Cracow

Summary/Abstract: The objective of the article is to present the need of control as an indispensable element of security based on the example of one of the public entities – Regional Centre of Blood Donation and Blood Treatment – which is authorised to collect and process blood and its components, and to provide blood or its components. The authors try to prove that inspections of the Regional Centre of Blood Donation and Blood Treatment in Kraków have a considerable influence on the security of public blood service. Security, apart from constituting a physiological need, is an overriding human need and as such determines other human needs and motives for actions taken. It is manifested not only by lack of threats (which is the basic aspect of security) but also by the need to take action to provide appropriate conditions for the development of both individuals and smaller and bigger social groups. Hence, today’s understanding of security is not exclusively related to the existence of an individual or social groups (lackof threats), but it must be considered from the point of view of their development, which in turn determines the evolution of such security categories as, for example, cultural security or job security. Control seems to be an indispensable element of security. Without it the essence of security does not make sense since the desired state (guaranteed by security determinants) may not be steady if it is not appropriately controlled (often and in the right way). Control constitutes an element of different spheres of security, including the security of public blood service. The authors prove that control is an indispensable element of security without which it is impossible to discuss security – not only from the scientific point of view but, above all, from the practical one. They therefore conclude that control is an element of both global and public security, and even of the feeling of security. They finally point out that control has an influence on the level of security of public blood service.
