ACCIDENTS OF BUS DRIVERS - AN EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY. PART I

ONGEVALLEN BIJ BUSCHAUFFEURS - EEN EPIDEMIOLOGISCHE STUDIE. DEEL I

Results of an analysis of traffic accidents of bus drivers of a regional bus company in the western part of the Netherlands are described. It was assumed that the occurrence of a traffic accident could contain information about possible effects of the task performance of a bus driver, and of the conditions of this task, on the man. The accident study contains two parts. The following hypothesis was the basis for the project. The performance of an occupational task had a cumulative effect on the individual performing this task; the nature of this effect is determined by characteristics of the task itself, of the environment (of which the task forms an integral part) and by individual qualities of the task performer.
