目的：根据疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)的数据，公路交通事故是美国致命职业伤害的头号原因。伐木业致命撞车事故的发生率远远超过所有行业的年均撞车事故的总和，但很少有研究研究与伐木相关的交通事故，对影响这些事故发生频率的因素也知之甚少。本研究的目的是确定路易斯安那州一起与单一车辆伐木相关的撞车事故中致命性和非致命性伤害的相关因素。方法：从路易斯安那州运输和发展部提供的数据集中提取2010-2015年间涉及单一伐木车辆的所有撞车事故。描述性统计被计算来根据人、车辆和环境因素来描述撞车事故的特征。结果：2010年至2015年，路易斯安那州发生了361起涉及单一伐木车辆的撞车事故。与驾驶员受伤相关的变量包括没有使用安全带(OR=33.23；95%CI=91.47-7.10)，因车辆粗心操作而发出的违规(OR=323；95%CI=91.40-7.46)，被归类为货物或设备丢失或换班的有害事件(OR=92.47；95%CI=91.27-4.82)，以及被归类为车辆向左行驶的有害事件(OR=92.29；结论：路易斯安那州伐木业的伤害预防工作，包括商业车辆许可程序，可以受益于额外的司机培训，以提高碰撞避免技能和不小心驾驶，安全带的使用，以及固定货物的方法。
Objectives: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), highway transportation crashes are the number one cause of fatal occupational injuries in the United States. The rate of fatal crashes in logging far exceeds the average annual rate for all sectors combined, yet few studies examine logging-related transportation crashes, and little is known about factors influencing the frequency of these crashes. The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with fatal and nonfatal injuries among drivers involved in a single vehicle logging-related crash in Louisiana.Methods: All crashes involving a single logging vehicle from 2010 to 2015 were extracted from a dataset provided by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. Descriptive statistics were computed to characterize crashes by person, vehicle, and environmental factors. A multiple logistic regression model was constructed to identify variables associated with driver injury (fatal and non-fatal).Results: There were 361 crashes involving a single logging vehicle from 2010 to 2015 in Louisiana. Variables associated with driver injury included no seat belt use (OR = 3.23; 95% CI = 1.47–7.10), a violation issued for careless operation of the vehicle (OR = 3.23; 95% CI = 1.40–7.46), a harmful event classified as cargo or equipment loss or shift (OR = 2.47; 95% CI = 1.27–4.82), and a harmful event classified as the vehicle running off the road to the left (OR = 2.29; 95% CI = 1.12–4.70).Conclusion: Injury prevention efforts in the logging industry in Louisiana, including commercial vehicle licensing procedures, could benefit from additional driver training to improve crash avoidance skills and careless driving, seat belt use, and methods for securing loads.
