DESCRIPTION:The transport and logistics sector in the UK is experiencing 
 a rise in their workforce average age. The work that professional driver
 s do can be detrimental to health\, and health and safety performance in
  the sector is worse than average. This research\, conducted by the Univ
 ersity of Manchester and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)\, provide
 s knowledge of the changing world of work and associated health impacts\
 , as drivers work into older age. \n\nData collection involving professi
 onal drivers and their managers investigates the impact of working to an
  older age on driver health and wellbeing. Phase one of data collection 
 is complete\, phase two is ongoing. Findings include identification of p
 hysical and mental demands on older professional drivers\, and associate
 d health consequences. A report from the first phase of the research ‘RR
 1104 - Occupational health and extended working lives in the transport s
 ector’ is available here http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrhtm/rr1104.htm
 . \n\nThe research project will build and develop a network of transport
  sector firms\, unions and industry representatives. This network\, enti
 tled ‘Age\, Health and Professional Drivers’\, will produce and dissemin
 ate industry led best practice guidelines relating to age and wellbeing\
