Summary/Abstract: The cooperation of the services that provide help and assistance is of major importance not only for the effectiveness of the rescue actions themselves, but also for the success of the entire rescue operations system. Each element of this kind of cooperation – from the moment of reporting an event to the completion of the rescue operation, has to function in a way that makes sure that people in need receive required assistance in the shortest time possible. An important element of this operational chain is also the guarantee of experience, proper skills and knowledge of those who save the lives of others. Many services cooperate within the Polish State Emergency Medical Rescue system. Their task is to help people in a condition of danger to their life and health. These common features mean that the cooperation of units during rescue operations should be precise and run smoothly without interference. This is the only guarantee of success, and as such it can have a major impact on the level of health safety. This paper presents research findings regarding the scope and significance of cooperation between units and the Polish State Emergency Medical Rescue system, which has an undisputable effect on health safety.
