Observational analysis shows a link between working time quality and health in Uruguayan drivers, indicating risk factors for chronic diseases.
Introduction: Working time quality goes beyond its duration, encompassing factors such as organization and predictability. Alongside environmental and personal elements, working time quality affects drivers' exposure to risk factors linked to common chronic diseases. In the road transport industry, poor working time quality is prevalent, characterized by long working hours often extended without the opportunity to return home, pressure to meet tight schedules, and prolonged waiting times for picking up or dropping off loads-issues frequently beyond workers' control. The primary objective of this study was to examine the influence of working time quality on the health of Uruguayan road transport drivers.
