Each day more than 3,000 people are killed in the transport system worldwide, most of whom are victims of road accidents. Poland, just like the other EU countries, experiences a disproportion between the number of road accidents and other transport accidents. Each mode has a different safety management system with different databases, transport infrastructure authorities and accident investigation bodies, systems for tracking the movement of vehicles, trains and ships. Although significantly dissimilar, transport modes and their safety management systems can be improved through integration and the use of good national and international practice in the entire transport sector. This is in line with the European Union's policy, which in its 2001 White Paper encouraged member states to undertake work on a European methodology of independent transport safety investigation. ZEUS Project with its aim to build a structure of integrated transport safety system in Poland is an example of the work. International experience shows that an independent investigation agency working across all modes of transportation can most effectively improve safety. An intermodal agency provides economy of operation, transfer of safety lessons between different modes of transportation, the advancement of new and innovative investigation techniques and the ability to focus on key issues of concern in all modes. It is therefore suggested that serious consideration be given to a unified independent agency wherever it is feasible.
