Oximes were available in a number of acute poisoning centres, while hydroxycobalamine was available in one such centre. When faced with a choice of potential sources of information on hazardous substances and weapons of mass destruction, the participants pointed mostly to Poison Information Centres \(97.2%\), fire services \(80.2%\) and the internet \(31.1%\). As far as professional preparation goes, non\-familiarity with possible means of decontamination, poor knowledge of hazardous substances and the resulting toxidromes, as well as insufficient knowledge concerning antidote use, complete the image of a total lack of chemical emergency preparedness among the assessed hospitals. The statistic analysis focusing on the potential correlation between the hospital \(random sample\), the hospital’s location \(agglomeration\), the questioned staff member’s position \(function\) and the evaluation of selected factors did not provide any evidence of a correlation between the hospital and the evaluation of all above\-mentioned factors \(hospital\/SEE<2\). A correlation was found between the location and the evaluation of strategic issues, the familiarity with means of external decontamination and the antidote availability \(p<0.05\). A correl"]
