A mission accident is an occupational accident that occurs to the worker while traveling during working hours, to carry out an activity entrusted by his company. It is a concept that is normally part of the regulations of a country and describes a type of work-related road accident , and therefore work must be done to prevent it .
The training that workers who use transport vehicles as a means of work must receive must be very specific. Depending on the profile of the worker, it is necessary to emphasize different aspects of driving. It is not the same to teach a prevention course to a salesperson who uses a car and to a carrier who uses a truck.
