Risky driving behaviors and employer motor vehicle safety policies among U.S. oil and gas extraction workers

CONCLUSIONS: Workers whose employers lacked motor vehicle safety policies were more likely to engage in risky driving behaviors.PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Results of this survey support the implementation of motor vehicle safety interventions such as bans on texting and handheld and hands-free cell phone use, speed management, and in-vehicle monitoring systems by OGE employers as well as research focusing on the effectiveness of these interventions in OGE. Additional research could examine worker driving behaviors through self-reported data in combination with objective measures.PMID:37718039 | PMC:PMC10505701 | DOI:10.1016/j.jsr.2023.05.015
