Problem: Various indicators of health have been shown to be associated with
traffic crash involvement. As general health is also related to absence from
work, the latter variable may be more strongly related to crashes, especially
for professional drivers. Method: Bus driver absence from work was analyzed in
association with their crash records. Two British samples and one Swedish sample
were used. Results: One of the British samples yielded fair correlation between
crash record and absence, while for the other the effect was restricted to the
first three months of driving. The Swedish data had effects in the expected
direction but these were not significant. Discussion: The use of an indirect,
overall measurement of health, may be a viable method for predicting the traffic
crash involvement for professional drivers, although replications are needed in
larger samples and other populations. Impact on industry: The use of absence
records for the identification of at risk drivers would seem to be a simple and
useful method for companies with major fleets, and it also shows the importance
of promoting employee health and well being at work as a potential method of
reducing the cost, not only of absenteeism, but also of crashes in company
vehicles
