Abstract

Background: Based on World Health Organization (WHO) report, 1.3 million deaths per year in the world are due to traffic accidents. Without a care, it is expected that any number of injuries and deaths resulted from traffic accidents would rise by 65% and 80% respectively till year 2020. Data from WHO reveals that Iran has one of the highest mortality rates from traffic accidents in the world. The aim of this study is assessment of traffic accident rates and related factors in professional DRIVERS of heavy Vehicles.Methods: This study is a cross sectional descriptive- analytic survey.1136 professional heavy vehicle DRIVERS had come to one of driver’s periodic examination centers in city of Yazd included in the study. Required data such as history of traffic accident, age, driving experience, weekly work hours and etc. was collected through a questionnaire.Findings: The rate of reported accidents in one year was 7.7%. The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between factors such as age, body mass index, work hours, shiftworks and traffic accidents (P<0.05%). Second job, chronic illnesses, and driving experience had no significant relationship with traffic accidents (P>0.05%). Even after adjustment of study variables by regression analysis, again significant relationship between weekly work hours, body mass index, and age over 60 and under 29 and traffic accidents was found (P<0.05%).Conclusion: Because of increased risk of traffic accidents, related to the age over 60, it seems that decreasing professional DRIVERS work hours after this age may reduce traffic accidents. Also, advice and supervision on reduction of DRIVERS’ weekly work hours could lead to traffic accidents decrement.
