The evaluation of the quality of Veterinary Inspection in Poland has received much attention in the past few years. Veterinarians working as Food Inspectors face numerous and newly arising problems in the protection of animal health status, providing surveillance information on the occurrence of diseases, and carrying out risk analyses of the hazards related to food of animal origin. From the 130 active veterinarians attending the post graduate courses in "Hygiene of slaughter animals, meat and animal origin products" in Poland, 119 took part in the survey. The questionnaire consisted of 15 questions that delivered information on demographic features of the respondents, and various aspects of the course of their work: (a) Motivation to undertake work in food safety sector, (b) overall job satisfaction, (c) crucial negative factors and (d) occupational hazards. Participants were mainly under 40 years of age. They were Veterinary Food Inspectors working as Official and Approved Veterinarians. Permanent position and economic reasons were their main motivation in the food safety sector. They indicated problems related to insufficient training in ante and post mortem examination, work with legal acts and risk analysis. They also declared a lack of preparation in coping with crisis situations. One third of the respondents declared their health and lives were endangered, while fulfilling professional duties and pointed at different sources of hazards. The overall evaluation of the work in food safety sector was rated good and satisfactory.
在过去几年中，波兰兽医检查质量的评估受到了广泛关注。担任食品检查员的兽医在保护动物健康状况、提供疾病发生监测信息以及对与动物源性食品相关的危害进行风险分析方面面临着众多新出现的问题。在波兰参加“屠宰动物、肉类及动物源性产品卫生”研究生课程的130名在职兽医中，有119人参与了此次调查。问卷包含15个问题，涉及受访者的人口统计学特征以及工作过程的各个方面：(a) 从事食品安全领域工作的动机，(b) 总体工作满意度，(c) 关键负面因素，以及(d) 职业危害。参与者主要年龄在40岁以下。他们是担任官方和认可兽医的兽医食品检查员。长期职位和经济原因是他们从事食品安全领域工作的主要动机。他们指出在宰前和宰后检查、法律法规工作以及风险分析方面存在培训不足的问题。他们还表示在应对危机情况方面准备不足。三分之一的受访者称在履行职业职责时健康和生命受到威胁，并指出了不同的危害来源。对食品安全领域工作的总体评价为良好和令人满意。
