OBJECTIVE: This study compared the characteristics of work-related traffic crashes between male taxi drivers aged \u226565 years and &lt;65 years. METHODS: Using the national compensation data of South Korea, 586 injured male taxi drivers were analyzed based on driver-related (work experience, company size, employment status, injured body part, and injury type) and crash-related factors (time and day of the crash, weather condition, road type, violation and drowsiness) by age group. RESULTS: For the injured drivers aged \u226565, percentages of the crashes related to some factors were lower than those of the drivers aged &lt;65 years: at night (55.2% vs. 64.0%), on rainy or snowy day (7.8% vs. 21.3%), on straight road (40.5% vs 50.9%) and on the expressway (6.9% vs. 13.0%). However, the percentage of the crashes related to a violation for the injured drivers aged \u226565 years (23.3%) was higher than that of the drivers aged &lt;65 years (13.4%). Furthermore, the taxi drivers aged \u226565 years had a higher death rate (14.7%) than the drivers aged &lt;65 years (8.5%). CONCLUSIONS: The results can be useful for injury prevention policies and guidelines for elderly taxi drivers such as strengthened qualification tests for the aged drivers and improvement of the working environment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/wor-203286","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,9]],"date-time":"2020-10-09T10:27:06Z","timestamp":1602239226000},"page":"369-380","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Comparison of work-related traffic crashes between male taxi drivers aged \u226565 years and &lt;65 years in South Korea"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"67","author":[{"given":"Dong Seok","family":"Shin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Korea National Industrial Convergence Center, Korea Institute of Industrial Technology, Cheonan, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Byung Yong","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial & Management Engineering, Hansung University, Seoul, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Myoung Hwan","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Industrial & Management Engineering, Hansung University, Seoul, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/WOR-203286_ref2","unstructured":"Statistics Korea.
