Abstract

This paper reviews the extent to which the vehicle is classed as part of the workplace in Australia in occupational health and safety (OHS) research, policy and practice. It focuses on published research from Australia and overseas. It concludes that although the vehicle can be seen as part of the workplace, it is rarely managed or enforced in this way. Despite this, it is argued that the extent of the work-related road safety risks means that adopting an OHS-led approach can bring many potential benefits to work-related road safety.
