In response to this, the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and partners instigated a Global Road Safety for Workers project with 7 aims. 1. Summarise the current state of knowledge and research on occupational road safety for a diverse audience of policy makers, safety practitioners, corporate representatives and researchers. 2.
