“…This result is contrary to previous research, which indicates that different types of performance-based payment schemes may influence safety outcomes negatively (e.g. Mooren et al 2014). This result is, however, probably related to the distribution of payment schemes in the national samples.…”

“…These findings are consistent with previous studies connecting payment methods to crash involvement and other safety outcomes (Belzer & Sedo, 2018;Mooren, et al, 2015;Stevenson, et al, 2014;Viscelli, 2016). In another Australian study, logistics and transport companies with good safety records mostly paid their drivers time-based rates (hourly or weekly) or fixed salaries while companies with poorer safety records mostly paid drivers based on loads carried (Mooren, et al, 2014). The majority of Australian heavy vehicle drivers surveyed between September 2015 and August 2016 strongly believed that payments based on distance travelled implicitly encourage unsafe behaviours (O'Neill & Thornthwaite, 2016).…”

“…Subcontractor drivers do not possess any heavy vehicles and are hired by heavy vehicle companies or owner drivers for specific tasks or periods. Mooren, et al (2014) compared Australian logistics and transport companies with low and high insurance claims. They found that the previous crash history of drivers at the time they were recruited differentiated among these companies.…”

Associations of heavy vehicle driver employment type and payment methods with crash involvement in Australia

The heavy vehicle industry is characterized by high levels of competition because the relatively ease of entrance into the industry has resulted in the presence of a large number of carriers. Some heavy vehicle companies use third-party drivers to improve profit margins. Previous research has reported mixed findings regarding the relationship between heavy vehicle driver employment type and crash involvement. Moreover, this relationship has been less explored in Australia than in elsewhere. None of these studies included payment methods despite other reports that they influence safety outcomes. The current study assessed the associations of long-distance heavy vehicle driver employment type and payment methods with crash involvement in Australia. It used existing case-control data collected from 1038 longdistance heavy vehicle drivers in New South Wales and Western Australia between November 2008 and November 2011. Cases were 194 drivers who were involved in a police-attended crash during the survey period. Controls were 844 drivers recruited at truck stops, who were not involved in a crash during the previous 12 months. Driver crash involvement was modelled in an unconditional logistic regression framework after adjusting for potential confounding factors. Owner drivers had lower odds of crash involvement than employee drivers. Drivers paid time-or trip-based rates had lower odds of crash involvement than those paid distancebased rates. Payments for loading and unloading times were associated with lower odds of crash involvement than non-payments for these times. Carrying general or dangerous freight was associated with lower odds of crash involvement than driving empty trucks.

“…There is a need for management of road transport organizations to implement a system-thinking approach and safety management systems (SMS) in road transport organizations [3,4,[16][17][18][19]. Accidents involving HGVs are likely to be a result of systems issues involving a network of interlinked contributory factors [19].…”

Road traffic accidents are a major health concern all over the world. Each year, 1.3 million people die in fatal road traffic accidents. Fatal and serious heavy goods vehicle (HGV) crashes are over-represented in many countries. This paper is a contribution to the road safety literature and has two aims. First, the study seeks to identify important factors in managing road safety for work-related driving of HGVs. Second, the study proposes an overall framework for how safety training could be executed and its overall content. Methods used were a literature review and a case study. The results show that important factors for management of road safety could be arranged at different levels: governmental level, third-party level, organizational level and driver level. Most important is that a systematic approach to road traffic safety for HGVs is essential. Every party is jointly responsible for road traffic safety, and parties must communicate and work together to increase road traffic safety for work-related driving of HGVs. By developing a safety training program for all parties in the system, the study proposes a method for increased communication, collaboration and cooperation between parties.
