Summary/Abstract: Safety regulations are often highly general. They are a kind of idea addressed to the state authorities responsible for protecting an individual and shaping the level of a given security category. Sanitary and epidemiological safety is an extremely peculiar category of safety. Its policy will be to prevent the spread of infectious diseases among humans and animals and to ensure – through legal regulations and then appropriate action – improvement of sanitary conditions. The activities in this area are in a sovereign and inertia form, relying mainly on control and preventive actions. The considerations will revolve around legal measures aimed at guaranteeing sanitary and epidemiological safety. Current legal regulations affecting the level of this safety category will be analysed. Moreover, within the framework of this article, the sanitary condition of Poland will be presented in a comparative perspective for the years 2016–2018. The basis for consideration will be the reports of the Chief Sanitary Inspector on the sanitary condition of the country in a given year. This paper introduces graphs showing the presented data obtained from the survey of respondents. Legal measures have been analyzed from the point of view of their effectiveness and legitimacy of their existence in the legal reality.
