摘要：	Motor vehicle crashes are the major occupational cause of death for American workers. A great deal has been learned about prevention of motor vehicle crashes for the general public; much less known about the underlying causes and effective prevention strategies for work-related motor vehicle crashes. In addition, few studies have focused on non-fatal motor vehicle injuries in the workplace and there is no comprehensive information on the true human and economic costs of work-related motor vehicle crashes. This project uses data collected from a single municipality (City of Philadelphia) to develop a database and prospective record linking system to capture comprehensive data on the number, magnitude, and economic impact of work-related injuries for the 28,000 employees of the City of Philadelphia. 20,357 employees are captured in these data along with 3,645 work-related motor vehicle accidents. We find that while most accidents occur during weekdays, the most expensive accidents tend to occur on weekends and they involve large trucks and younger drivers. / Title Note: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with Louisville Univ., KY.
