SHIFTS, DURATION OF WORK AND ACCIDENT RISK OF BUS DRIVERS

Results of a repetitive and comprehensive analysis of accidents of bus drivers, highlighting different aspects of the aetiology of bus drivers' accidents in the western part of the Netherlands. The results indicate a strong effect of the type of shift on accident risk. On basis of study and a discussion about the role of time of day and time on task in influencing accident risk, it is concluded that, while allowance must be made for certain variations related to the time of day, in accident research one should take full account of the effects of the structure of the work together with the duration of the work, i.e. time on task.
