The trucking industry experiences one of the highest work-related injury rates. Little work has been conducted previously in the United States to assess the hazards, needs, and injury prevention priorities in trucking.
Two separate industry-wide surveys of 359 trucking companies and 397 commercial truck drivers were conducted in Washington State.
Trucking companies and drivers both ranked musculoskeletal and slip, trip, fall injuries as the top two priorities. Controlling heavy lifting, using appropriate equipment, and addressing slippery surfaces were frequently listed as solutions. There appears to be a gap in safety climate perception between workers and employers. However, driver and company priorities agreed with industry workers' compensation claims. There is room for safety program management improvement in the industry. The study findings detail opportunities for prioritizing and reducing injuries.
This information can be used to focus and design interventions for the prevention of work-related injuries while improving industry competitiveness.
运输行业的工伤发生率位居最高之列。此前在美国，针对运输行业的危害、需求及工伤预防重点开展的工作较少。
在华盛顿州对359家运输公司和397名商用卡车司机进行了两项独立的全行业调查。
运输公司和司机均将肌肉骨骼损伤以及滑倒、绊倒和跌倒损伤列为两大首要问题。经常提到的解决办法包括控制重物搬运、使用合适的设备以及处理防滑表面。工人和雇主在安全氛围认知上似乎存在差距。然而，司机和公司的首要问题与行业工伤赔偿索赔情况相符。该行业在安全计划管理方面仍有改进空间。研究结果详细说明了确定优先事项和减少工伤的机会。
这些信息可用于确定重点并设计预防工伤的干预措施，同时提高行业竞争力。
