Abstract

This paper addresses why seat belt wearing rates remain low among truck drivers, despite revisions to Australian Design Rules aimed at making truck seat belts more comfortable. These changes allow for anchorage of the seat belt to the seat and reduced retractor sensitivity. Drivers of articulated and rigid trucks were interviewed regarding seat belt use and reasons for non-use. Responses are analysed as a function of type of belt and anchorage, type of truck and driver characteristics. (A)
