This study aims to describe the hazard environment facing drivers of light freight vehicles and short-haul transport drivers and to examine the relationships between hazard exposure and injury.
Drivers (n=321) of rigid vehicles up to 12 tonnes Gross Vehicle Mass working within a 100 km radius of their base across the Australian state of New South Wales were surveyed regarding their experience of occupation-specific hazards and their experience of workplace injury in the past year.
Principal components analysis identified four clusters of hazards corresponding to those associated with work organisation, vehicles, road and access, and interpersonal conflict. In logistic regression analysis, work organisation and vehicle-related hazards, explained unique variance in the experience of injury in the past year. However, frequent stress replaced work organisation when included as a predictor in the analysis.
Drivers' most common safety concern (road and driving issues) reflected the frequency of their exposure to road and access hazards but did not parallel their injury experience. Examination of the hazards most strongly associated with injury suggest that industry risk management efforts should target work organisation and vehicle-related hazards, and particularly work practices that engender frequent stress among drivers.
本研究旨在描述轻型货车司机和短途运输司机所面临的危险环境，并探讨危险暴露与伤害之间的关系。
对澳大利亚新南威尔士州范围内，距离基地 100 公里范围内工作的总重 12 吨以下的刚性车辆驾驶员（n=321）进行了调查，内容包括他们对特定职业危险的体验以及过去一年的工作场所受伤经历。
主成分分析确定了四个与工作组织、车辆、道路和通道以及人际冲突相关的危险集群。在逻辑回归分析中，工作组织和与车辆相关的危险解释了过去一年受伤经历的独特差异。然而，当频繁的压力被纳入分析作为预测因素时，工作组织就被取代了。
司机最常见的安全关注点（道路和驾驶问题）反映了他们接触道路和通道危险的频率，但与他们的受伤经历并不一致。对与伤害最相关的危险的检查表明，行业风险管理工作应针对工作组织和与车辆相关的危险，特别是那些导致司机经常感到压力的工作实践。
