Resumo
The road transport loads is extremely important to the economy, which causes truck accidents become are so important to be studied, when they happen they cause an economic damage and can be fatal for those involved. Thus, the objective of this research was to analyse the situations of traffic accidents of truck drivers from the perspective of health and the activity of labor. The research leaned on the idea that the causes of accidents should be analysed considering a lot of events, and not only the technical and human failures. It used the French ergonomic approach. The research consisted of two studies, the first one was aimed at trying to show the complex relationships labor-competence-accident through a survey of sociodemographic characteristics of the truck drivers, the competences that are most important for their work and their relationship with traffic accidents. The study gathered 198 truck drives, who awsered a closed questionnaire. The second study aimed to analyse the causes of traffic accidents of truck drivers and, then, propose effective forms of prevention based on the analysis of real activity of labor. In this one, 20 truck drivers were interviewed. The analyses of qualitative data from the interviews were based on the Método da Árvore de Causas. The results of both studies allowed the analysis of traffic accidents from the perspective of the own truck drivers. They indicate that accidents are not unicausais and its origins are more complex than what is observed in other studies. For workers, traffic accidents are more related to the way work is organized and pressures than with the individual factors. The work of the truck drivers proved to be a stressful profession. The research reinforces the idea of the importance to change the way the activity is done to avoid accidents and not only offer training sessions, although a proper training is also important. To prevent accidents, the most effective way is to perform focused training in activity and an intervention in the organization itself, which seek to change your goals and redefine what is expected of the truck driver.
