Investigate new bus operators' ( N = 293) occupational and health backgrounds to inform how transit authorities can support their future health and job success.
New bus operators completed surveys and direct measurements that addressed demographics, work history, and 10 health risk factors.
Participants averaged 42.76 years of age and were predominantly male (73.5%). Many (45.7%) came from minority backgrounds and most (66.3%) had no prior commercial driving experience. Transportation and material moving occupations were operators' most common prior jobs followed by protective service, and sales and related occupations. Study-specific criteria classified operators as having low (49.5%), medium (37.9%), and high (12.6%) health risk levels.
About half of the sample had medium-to-high health risks and most lacked commercial driving experience. Such information may help employers proactively support new bus operators' health and job success.
调查新公交司机（N = 293）的职业和健康背景，以便为交通管理部门如何支持他们未来的健康和工作成功提供信息。
新公交司机完成了关于人口统计学、工作经历和10种健康风险因素的调查及直接测量。
参与者平均年龄为42.76岁，男性占主导（73.5%）。许多人（45.7%）来自少数族裔背景，大多数人（66.3%）此前没有商业驾驶经验。运输和物资搬运职业是司机之前最常见的工作，其次是安保服务以及销售和相关职业。根据特定研究标准，将司机分为健康风险低（49.5%）、中（37.9%）和高（12.6%）水平。
约一半样本有中度至高度健康风险，且大多数缺乏商业驾驶经验。这些信息可能有助于雇主积极支持新公交司机的健康和工作成功。
