Abstract

In Italy the transport of goods is done mainly by road and is complicated matter. Companies engaged in the passenger transport are state-controlled companies and little companies of taxi service. The work of the driver in public or private companies carrying people or goods shows a lot of similarities and remains one of the most difficult job. The analyzed job-risks are: vibration, noise, manual handling of loads by workers involved in loading /unloading the vehicle, exposure to chemical pollutants and the indoor environment of the cabin stress. The protocol for health surveillance should therefore be drawn up taking into account: current legislation, risk factors, most frequently occurring diseases and/or disease that may affect job that may affect job performance.
