“…There are approximately 880,000 workers employed in this industry sector, and with the continuing growth of the oil and gas industry, there was an increase of two thousand workers just from May to August of 2021 (BLS, 2021). This increasing job fulfillment consequently leads to more workers driving to and from work and during work in this sector (Blair et al, 2018;Ruddell, 2017). Motor vehicle crashes are the most prevalent cause of worker injuries and fatalities in the US oil and gas industry, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS, 2019).…”

Motor vehicle crashes are the major cause of worker injuries and fatalities in the oil and gas industry. The current study uses an online survey to investigate driving safety and crash risk among the oil and gas industry workers. We examine driver characteristics and attentional and cognitive abilities associated with increased crash risks and evaluate the frequency of traffic warnings, tickets, crashes, and near-crashes among this driver population. The preliminary results from this ongoing study suggest a significant link between drivers’ age, experience, and attentional and cognitive deteriorations and increased motor vehicle crash risk. The survey responses also showed that crashes involving certain types and characteristics might be particularly prevalent among this driver group.
