ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To empirically assess retrospective reports of weight changes during bus operators' first years on the job, and to investigate experienced and desired training topics for new operators.METHODS:
Bus operators (nâ=â261) completed an online survey on topics of early weight changes and training experiences.RESULTS:
Operators reported gaining an average of 7.64âlb (SDâ=â16.36) during their first year. Further weight gain was not reported during the second year. Most operators reported that health-related topics were not addressed during their initial training. Stress management and healthy eating were the operators' two most desired topics to be included in their initial training.CONCLUSION:
Bus operators reported medically meaningful weight gain during their first year of work and a desire for more health-related training. Objective research to document the magnitude of this hazard, and contributing working conditions, is needed.
