- W820414690 abstract "This paper describes how work related travel by motor vehicle has become commonplace in the developed and in the developing world. Today, people are traveling by vehicle for a variety of work purposes: delivering goods, visiting clients, selling services, on their way to meetings or even to the office. In a rapidly developing economy such as Poland, the number of total registered motor vehicles has increased by almost 90% since 1990 and there were 140% more passenger cars on the road in 2005 than in 1990. Increased motorization can be an indicator of and indeed contribute to economic development. Yet many developing nations are also experiencing that the benefits of more work-related travel can be offset by the harrowing economic and social consequences of an increase in road crashes. Studies from countries that collect data on journey purpose, including the United Kingdom (UK), United States of America (USA), and Australia, indicate that road crashes are the single most deadly work-related hazard in these countries. According to the World report on road traffic injury prevention (WHO/World Bank 200c) 1.2 million people are killed in road crashes every year, with the majority of fatalities occurring in low and middle income countries, and between 23 and 34 million people are injured. For a country like Poland, road crashes cost the country roughly 1% of its gross domestic product (GDP). According to the Polish National Road Safety Council more than 100,000 people have lost their lives and a million have been injured on the country’s roads since 1990. The public health system, individuals and families carry the largest burden of these costs. However, studies on the costs of road crashes to individual companies reveal that businesses operating vehicle fleets suffer huge losses due to road crashes, the majority of which are preventable. Collective fleet operating costs represent a growing proportion of overhead expenditure, yet few organizations really know what road crashes actually cost them." @default.
