Teachers in Spain are especially concerned about the problem of commuting due to their particular labor conditions. Multiple work-related factors are associated with the risk and severity of occupational traffic-related motor vehicle crashes. The objective of this research is to analyze the influence of the variables associated with the severity of occupational traffic accidents among teachers in Spain. A logistic regression model was used for the current study. The odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval (CI) were calculated for the injured worker on a sample of 20,190 occupational traffic accidents suffered by teachers. The results showed that women, Spanish nationality, younger than 55 years, and those driving a car were more likely to suffer a light crash. In contrast, men, foreign nationalities, older than 55 years, and those riding a motorbike were more likely to suffer a serious crash. Based on these findings, motor vehicle safety training could be designed and adapted to the riskiest profiles. Additionally, effective mobility plans for commuting could help reduce work-related traffic accidents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19095175","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,24]],"date-time":"2022-04-24T22:22:41Z","timestamp":1650838961000},"page":"5175","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Occupational Traffic Accidents among Teachers in Spain"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6654-9520","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vicente Joaqu\u00edn","family":"Delgado-Fern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ph.D. Program Mechatronics Engineering, School of Industrial of Industrial Engineers, University of M\u00e1laga, 29071 Malaga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9236-5792","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda del Carmen","family":"Rey-Merch\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Consejer\u00eda de Educacion y Deporte, 29071 Malaga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2477-1227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio","family":"L\u00f3pez-Arquillos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics and Business Management, School of Industrial Engineers, University of M\u00e1laga, 29071 Malaga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sang D.","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational and Environmental Safety and Health, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, Whitewater, WI 53190, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2019).
