Summary
Almost one third of registered motor vehicles in Australia are used for work purposes, the implications of this research namely, estimating the magnitude and identifying organisational determinants associated with work-related road traffic injury are substantial. Interventions arising from the findings of this research will contribute significantly to reductions in work-related road traffic injury and will support the National Road Safety Strategy target of a 30% reduction in serious injuries by ....Almost one third of registered motor vehicles in Australia are used for work purposes, the implications of this research namely, estimating the magnitude and identifying organisational determinants associated with work-related road traffic injury are substantial.

Climate Change Impacts On Workplace Heat Extremes: Health Risk Estimates And Adaptive Options

Summary
Global warming will bring more hot (and extremely hot) days as Australia warms within the projected range of 2-4oC by 2070. Working in the heat is uncomfortable and requires rest breaks, yet pressure to keep working risks overheating and serious health problems. We will study the current effects on health and productivity on heat exposed workers, and model future trends in likely impacts under climate change in 8 (urban and rural) regions, with and without adaptive health protection strategies.
