Soliani, Rodrigo Silva, Luiz Bueno da Segurança Saúde Condições de Trabalho Motorista de Caminhão Fadiga The road freight transport sector has different models for contracting freight, a factor that negatively impacts the working conditions offered to drivers. The working hours of Brazilian truck drivers are, as a rule, linked to their employment relationship with the contracting carrier. The main objective of the research was to identify and analyze the main occupational health and safety aspects that affect self-employed drivers. The research consisted of a literature review in the SciELO, Scopus and Web of Science databases, in which a structured process was used, including planning, execution and analysis of the researched data. Fatigue and drowsiness during activity are considered a major health problem for the category, not only because they affect well-being, but also because they impact vehicle driving performance and, consequently, safety. The findings are in line with the discussions brought about by the growing informalization of the work of the self-employed, which submits them to temporary contracts, without guarantees of labor rights, with exhausting hours. This article reflects on fatigue and sleepiness as the main causes of traffic accidents, making it essential to establish minimum conditions to be observed by any service contracting party. O setor de transporte rodoviário de cargas possui diferentes modelos de contratação de fretes, fator que impacta negativamente nas condições de trabalho oferecidas aos motoristas. A jornada de trabalho dos caminhoneiros brasileiros está, como regra, ligada à sua relação trabalhista com a transportadora contratante. O principal objetivo da pesquisa foi identificar e analisar os principais aspectos de saúde e segurança ocupacional que afetam os motoristas autônomos. A pesquisa consistiu em uma revisão da literatura nas bases de dados SciELO, Scopus e Web of Science, na qual se utilizou um processo estruturado, abrangendo um planejamento, execução e análise dos dados pesquisados. A fadiga e a sonolência durante a atividade são consideradas um grande problema de saúde para a categoria, não só porque afetam o bem-estar, mas também porque impactam no desempenho da condução do veículo e, consequentemente, na segurança. Os achados vão ao encontro das discussões trazidas sobre a crescente informalização do trabalho dos autônomos, que os submete à contratos temporários, sem garantias de direitos trabalhistas, com jornadas exaustivas. Este artigo faz uma reflexão sobre a fadiga e a sonolência como as principais causas dos acidentes de trânsito, tornando-se imprescindível o estabelecimento de condições mínimas a serem observadas por qualquer contratante do serviço.
