An exploration into work-related road safety: A multi-dimensional approach

Vehicle crashes are identified as the primary cause of occupational fatalities and driving a vehicle for work is considered the most hazardous operation undertaken by many workers. The thesis explored contemporary issues impacting on work-related road safety (WRRS). Findings suggest that WRRS is a complex issue requiring a multi-dimensional or holistic approach to assess the factors impacting on work-related driving. Within the organisations studied, WRRS was not adequately addressed and differing levels of management commitment and support determine the degree of organisational response.
