The article concentrates on road safety in Poland, which is one of the countries with a high number of fatalities in European Union. As the passenger cars are the mostly involved in traffic accidents with fatalities, this type of vehicles was analyzed to check relationship between age of the vehicle and its involvement in accidents with fatalities. This type of scientific analysis was made for the first time. For carrying out this research, a method of estimating passenger car fleet in motion in Poland was designed, as the official data were not updated and provided wrong information. The updated information on passenger car fleet when compared with that on the age of vehicles involved in road accidents with fatalities showed that the age of a vehicle has influence on the occurrence of road accidents in Poland. Presented data showed that the fact that people involved in accidents are at a higher risk of loss of life depends on the age of a vehicle. The data from analysis conducted between 2014 and 2015 showed that the risk of being killed increases with the age of the vehicle. Chances of the loss of life of people involved in accident participants are three times more in the case of more than 21 year old cars compared to 5 years old cars.

Introduction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the trend of occupational injuries in Turkey using epidemiologic criteria such as incidence mortality and fatality/all injuries recorded – rates. Materials and methods. Safety and health data were obtained from the Annual Statistic Books of the Social Insurance Institution (1988–2006) and Social Security Institution (2007–2011) of Turkey. Results. The results from the official data showed that although total employment is increasing the number of occupational injuries and incidence and mortality rates are decreasing. The results also demonstrate that occupational fatality/all injuries recorded – rate is increasing. The fatality/all injuries recorded – rate per 1000 injuries increased to 25.5 in 2011 from 8.6 in 1988. Each work day an average of five people died because of occupational injuries. Discussion and conclusions. The fatality/all injuries recorded – rate (the number of fatal cases per 1000 occupational injuries) is an important indicator of the injury rate for a country. Systems of occupational injury and illness surveillance constitute a critical resource for the management and reduction of occupational injuries and illness.

W artykule przedstawiono analizę ryzyka wypadków przy pracy na przykładzie porównania branży górnictwa i Polski, która opiera się na danych Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego (GUS) pt. „Wypadki przy pracy". Głównym celem badań była analiza przyczyn wypadków przy pracy, rozumianych według definicji GUS-u (ludzkie, organizacyjne, techniczne, inne), a niejako wydarzenia powodujące uraz - wydarzenia niebezpieczne w górnictwie (naturalne, techniczne, osobowe, inne). Artykuł obejmuje wyniki badań przyczyn wypadków przy pracy w górnictwie i Polsce, z wykorzystaniem analizy porównawczej wypadków ogółem, wypadków śmiertelnych i wypadków ciężkich.

The article presents an analysis of the risk of accidents at work on the example of comparison of mining industry and Poland, which is based on data from the Central Statistical Office (GUS), titled ,,Accidents at Work". The main objective of the research was to analyze the causes of accidents at work, understood as defined by the Central Statistical Office (human, organizational, technical, other), and not as events resulting in an injury - dangerous events in the mining industry (natural, technical, personnel, other). The article includes the results of the causes of accidents at work in the mining industry and in Poland, using comparative analysis of accidents in total, fatalities and serious accidents.

Road safety modelling on regional level of NUTS 2 in the EU is the complex issue ant authors of this article indicate this in previous publications. During multivariate models development they discovered that it is difficult to make regression model well described all regions, even if they are from one country. In the first step Poisson model of road fatality rate as fatalities per 100 thou of citizens was prepared. In this article was presented the fuzzy regression approach to estimate lover and upper bounds of the modeled value.

In this research, the effect of the European regional differences on the risk of been killed in road accident in these regions is investigated. Factors which differentiate regions can be described as automotive, economic, infrastructural, demographic, geographic. Analyzed risk, counted as regional fatality rate was modeled by the Poisson model. Because of regional diversity of Poisson distribution parameters, the Poisson distribution was adopted. The multivariate multilevel model was developed, in order to asses combined effects of different factors on road safety level in regions. Such models could be helpful to forecast such risk on the regional level and focus safety actions precisely for region, because the national actions and their results differentiate in regions so far.

W artykule przedstawiono wpływ cech różnicujących regiony krajów europejskich na ryzyko bycia ofiarą śmiertelną wypadku drogowego. Zmienne różnicujące regiony to m.in. charakterystyki motoryzacyjne, ekonomiczne, infrastrukturalne, demograficzne i geograficzne. Założono, że ryzyko mierzone jako wskaźnik zabitych w regionach ma rozkład Poissona, a w procesie modelowania przyjęto uogólniony model Poissona. Opracowano wielopoziomowy model wieloczynnikowy w celu oceny złożonego, wzajemnego wpływu różnych czynników na poziom bezpieczeństwa w regionach, który może pomóc w prognozowaniu analizowanego wskaźnika na poziomie regionalnym oraz ukierunkowaniu działań służących poprawie bezpieczeństwa w danym regionie.

This paper presents the results from a recent study on the coverage of Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC). Global traffic datahas been evaluated in relation to the coverage of ENC and eleven specific ship routes, representative for global merchant shipping, have been analyzed in further detail. Overall, the ENC coverage was found to be extensive, with 82 – 94% coverage for SOLAS ships, and 28 – 100% coverage along selected routes. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated how the coverage of ENCs could be taken into account when assessing the effect of ECDIS for safer ship navigation and associated cost effectiveness.
