Abstract

Local and short haul (L/SH) drivers work in various other work environments in addition to that of the truck cab, and the safety of these environments vary widely. In this study, we combined methods from three time perspectives; accident statistics analyses (past); video observations (present) and scenario workshops (future) in order to provide new knowledge that can be applied to design and management process development in the transportation industry. Even though new technologies have and will emerge to ease drivers’ work, the work that is performed in environments other than truck cabs still involves tasks that require physical activities and pose risks of occupational diseases and accidents. Thus, drivers’ safety at work and work ability issues remain an area that needs continuous, systemic development. The results inevitably show that in order to successfully improve L/SH drivers’ work, the relevant stakeholders’ participation and a systemic approach is crucial.
