Sammendrag

The report characterizes the scope of work-related fatal road accidents in Norway. It estimates that 41 per cent of fatal road accidents involve at least one person driving while at work or on the way to/from work. Ten per cent of the accidents involve one or more commuter drivers, while six per cent involve at least one person driving for some work-related purpose other than occupational driving or commuting. The report characterizes work-related fatal road accidents and the workers they involve through the analysis of in-depth accident reports. The report’s findings include that seatbelt use, time pressure / stress, and driver fatigue may be challenges for those responsible for employees who drive in connection with work.
