Abstract

Almost one third of registered motor vehicles in Australia are used for work purposes, the implications of this research namely, estimating the magnitude and identifying organisational determinants associated with work-related road traffic injury are substantial. Interventions arising from the findings of this research will contribute significantly to reductions in work-related road traffic injury and will support the National Road Safety Strategy target of a 30% reduction in serious injuries by 2030.
