Global road safety for workers
Global road safety for workers refers to the economic, societal, and legal ramifications of protecting workers from automobile-related injury, disability, and death. Road traffic crashes are a leading cause of occupational fatalities throughout the world, especially in developing countries.〔Aeron-Thomas, A., Downing, A., Jacobs G., Fletcher, J., Selby, T. & Silcock D (2002). (Review of road safety management practice ). PR/INT/216/2002, DFID, GRSP, TRL, Ross Silcock and Babtie Group.〕 In addition to the suffering of the workers and their families, businesses and society also bear direct and indirect costs.〔(Motor Vehicle Safety ). National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Accessed February 3, 2009.〕 These include increased insurance premiums, the threat of litigation, loss of an employee, and destruction of property.〔''Frequently Asked Questions''.

==Background==
Road crashes worldwide kill over a million people every year and cost as much as 3% of global gross domestic product (GDP).〔Peden, M., Scurfield, R., Sleet, D., Mohan, D., Hyder, A., Jarawan, E. & Mathers, C. (2004) World report on road traffic injury prevention. ISBN 92-4-156260-9, World Health Organisation, Geneva〕 Around the world, it is estimated that work-related incidents make up 25% the road toll (50% if commuting is included).〔Murray, W (2007). (Worldwide Occupational Road Safety (WORS) Review Project ). Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety - Queensland.
〕 Because rapid motorization generally accompanies economic development, a large percentage of occupational automobile crashes occur in low and middle-income countries.〔 Workers in the developing world are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the risk of road traffic crashes.〔
Workers at risk include drivers of commercial trucks and buses; workers who are not professional drivers, but who drive smaller trucks or passenger vehicles provided by their employer; workers who drive personal vehicles for work purposes; pedestrians, particularly roadside workers; and commuters.〔''Background''.
