“…Other studies have identified an increased accident risk during leisure trips, and not only among PTW users (Chiron et al 2008;Gregersen and Berg 1994). During leisure trips, ignorance of the route increases the risk of PTWs being caught unawares by a defect in the road, for example poor surface condition.…”

“…Specifi c work demands during the shift can increase fatigue and the risk of MVC with injuries. In a cohort of energy industry workers, the risk for crashes was increased for those with "nervously tiring work," sustained standing, and working in uncomfortable positions (Chiron, Bernard, Lafont, & Lagarde, 2008); all of these have also been described as stressors in nursing. Most drivers are aware of their sleepiness prior to crashing but that self-awareness does not deter them from continuing to drive drowsy (Nabi et al, 2007), and some nurses report having had several drowsy driving accidents during commutes home thus awareness does not translate into preventive behavior.…”

Nurses' working conditions are inextricably linked to the quality of care that is provided to patients and patients' safety. These same working conditions are associated with health and safety outcomes for nurses and other health care providers. This chapter describes aspects of the nursing work environment that have been linked to hazards and adverse exposures for nurses, as well as the most common health and safety outcomes of nursing work. We include studies from 2000 to the present by nurse researchers, studies of nurses as subjects, and studies of workers under similar working conditions that could translate to nurses' work environment. We explore a number of work organization factors including shift work and extended work hours, safety climate and culture, teamwork, and communication. We also describe environmental hazards, including chemical hazards (e.g., waste anesthetics, hazardous drugs, cleaning compounds) and airborne and bloodborne pathogen exposure. Nurses' health and safety outcomes include physical (e.g., musculoskeletal disorders, gastrointestinal, slips, trips and falls, physical assault) and psychosocial outcomes (e.g., burnout, work-family conflict). Finally, we present recommendations for future research to further protect nurses and all health care workers from a range of hazardous working conditions.

“…Work pressure, responsibilities, and work constraints are likely to affect a person's ability to drive during and outside workhours (3). For instance, we have shown that work-related fatigue, shift work, and prolonged standing postures at work were significant risk factors for road traffic accidents in a large cohort of employees (13).…”
