Oil and gas extraction (OGE) workers in the United States experience high fatality rates, with motor vehicle crashes the leading cause of death. Land-based OGE workers drive frequently to remote and temporary worksites. Limited information is available on factors that may influence crash risk for this workforce.
A cross-sectional survey of 500 land-based OGE workers examined work schedules and hours, commuting, sleep, employer policies, and their relationship to potentially harmful events while driving.
Over 60% of participants worked 12 or more hours per day. The mean daily roundtrip commuting time was 1.82 h. Longer daily commutes, nonstandard work schedules, less sleep on workdays, and lack of employer policies were associated with one or more risky driving-related outcomes.
Implementation and evaluation of OGE employer policies and programs to limit long work hours, reduce long daily commutes, promote sufficient sleep, and reduce drowsy driving among U.S. OGE workers are needed.
美国的石油和天然气开采(OGE)工人死亡率很高,机动车事故是导致死亡的主要原因。陆上 OGE 工人经常开车前往偏远和临时工作地点。关于可能影响这一劳动力群体的碰撞风险的因素,信息有限。
对 500 名陆上 OGE 工人进行了一项横断面调查,调查了工作时间、通勤、睡眠、雇主政策以及与驾驶时潜在有害事件的关系。
超过 60%的参与者每天工作 12 小时或更长时间。平均每日往返通勤时间为 1.82 小时。每日通勤时间较长、非标准工作时间安排、工作日睡眠不足以及缺乏雇主政策与一个或多个危险驾驶相关结果有关。
需要实施和评估 OGE 雇主政策和计划,以限制工作时间过长、减少每日长途通勤、促进充足睡眠,并减少美国 OGE 工人的困倦驾驶。
