Mechanisms Linking Daily Work Conditions and Work-Related Strain Reactions to Unsafe Commuting

项目总结 通勤环境被认为是对工人安全的重大威胁。最近的研究表明，每天 工作条件和与工作相关的应激反应会影响不安全的通勤行为，但其机制 推动这些关系的人仍然知之甚少。这种寻找机制的主要障碍是 我不能客观地模拟司机和道路上发生的事情 在不安全的通勤事件中。拟议的项目汇集了来自以下方面的跨学科专家团队 职业安全与健康、交通安全和心理社区来克服这一点 障碍。项目团队将把现有的工作压力每日调查方法与基于视频的、 自然主义驾驶方法在交通安全社区得到验证，通过 哪些日常工作条件和与工作相关的应激反应会影响不安全的通勤。这种方法将是 应用于对100名全职员工的纵向研究，这些员工每天完成两次调查，并有他们的 在连续八周的日常通勤中，对驾驶和车内行为进行了观察跟踪。这个 项目团队将演示(1)日常工作条件和与工作相关的应激反应影响相同的- 白天下班后通过注意力和分心机制通勤不安全，以及(2)日常工作条件 与工作相关的应激反应通过疲劳机制影响第二天上班前的不安全通勤。这个 项目组还将评估日常工作条件和工作相关应激反应的影响 通过这些通勤机制进行的不安全通勤在一周的工作过程中得到了加强。 拟议的项目直接响应NIOSH创伤性伤害预防跨部门， 致力于防止因机动车等突发事件造成的伤害和死亡 坠毁。由于通勤是许多行业和职业中工人日常生活中无处不在的活动， 拟议的项目将直接适用于几乎所有职业类别的工人安全。这个 拟议的研究预计将对干预目标和发展产生重大影响，这将 为NIOSH的研究实践(R2P)倡议做出重大贡献。拟议的项目将提供 职业安全、应用心理学和职业安全的跨学科出版物和演示文稿 交通安全社区将有助于引导干预的中间结果 为实现降低工伤率和降低工伤死亡率的长期成果奠定基础 在通勤途中死亡。

PROJECT SUMMARY The commuting environment is recognized to present a major risk to worker safety. Recent work shows that daily work conditions and work-related strain reactions influence unsafe commuting behaviors, but the mechanisms driving these relationships remain poorly understood. The major impediment to this search for mechanisms has been an inability to objectively model what is happening with the driver and on the road immediately prior to and during unsafe commuting events. The proposed project brings together an inter-disciplinary team of experts from the occupational safety and health, transportation safety, and psychological communities to overcome this impediment. The project team will integrate an existing daily survey approach to work stress with a video-based, naturalistic driving approach validated in the transportation safety community to explicate the process through which daily work conditions and work-related strain reactions influence unsafe commuting. This approach will be applied in a longitudinal study of 100 full-time employees who will complete twice daily surveys and have their driving and in-vehicle behaviors observationally tracked across eight consecutive weeks of daily commuting. The project team will demonstrate that (1) daily work conditions and work-related strain reactions influence same- day post-work unsafe commuting via attention and distraction mechanisms and that (2) daily work conditions and work-related strain reactions influence next-day pre-work unsafe commuting via a fatigue mechanism. The project team will also evaluate whether the influence of daily work conditions and work-related strain reactions on unsafe commuting via these within-commute mechanisms strengthens over the course of the work week. The proposed project is directly responsive to the NIOSH Traumatic Injury Prevention Cross-Sector, which is devoted to the prevention of injury and death stemming from sudden events such as motor vehicle crashes. As commuting is a ubiquitous activity in worker’s daily lives within many industries and occupations, the proposed project will have direct applications to worker safety in almost all occupational groups. The proposed research is expected to have major implications for intervention targeting and development, which will yield a strong contribution to NIOSH’s Research to Practice (r2p) initiative. The proposed project will provide outputs of cross-disciplinary publications and presentations in the occupational safety, applied psychology, and transportation safety communities that will contribute to the intermediate outcome of guiding intervention development to lay the groundwork to achieve the long-term outcome of reducing rates of worker injury and death while commuting.
