Health survey of the NSW transport industry: the Work Outcome Research Cost-Benefit (WORC) Project

The Work Outcomes Research Cost-benefit Project (WORC), funded by the Department of Health & Ageing (Commonwealth Government) has been running since 2004. The New South Wales Transport Industry project, an extension of the WORC Project, was commissioned by The Australian Rotary Health Research Fund and supported by, the National Transport Commission, the NSW Road Transport Association, the NSW Transport Workers Union, and the Transport and Logistics Centre. The aim of this study was to identify the prevalence of mental health disorders in NSW Transport Workers; to learn about health conditions that concern drivers the most, and help unions and employers plan health initiatives to benefit the industry.
