• Abstract:

  Today in the world of work, health and safety has become a constant concern. The World Health Organization (2013) strongly recommends improving workers' health and reducing work-related injuries. In general, all countries have enacted policies consistent with global regulations to improve workers' safety and health. The objective of this integrative review was to analyze the influence of working conditions on the safety and health of vehicle drivers, using contemporary texts on the subject as a reference. The results suggest that the occupational health team needs to pay attention to the development and implementation of health promotion interventions to reduce drivers' fatigue while driving light vehicles and that incorporate physical, mental and occupational factors. It is essential that organizations establish internal regulations and public policies to promote the health and safety of driver workers. Therefore, most health professionals do not understand which measures are most useful for drivers, so we propose additional studies, as well as refuting the study in dispersed locations and in different countries.
