The study identified the causes of accidents and significant factors in driving a bus associated to the types of bus accidents. The individual attributes, environmental hazards, traffic condition, salary, driving time and system of dispatching were tested with frequency to identify the factors that contribute to the occurrence of bus accidents. The subjects in the study are 90 male bus drivers from six different bus companies in Indang and Trece Martires City.

Through Checklist for identifying factors affecting the types of accidents, the individual attributes, environmental hazards, traffic condition, salary, driving time and system of dispatching were obtained. Somer’s D technique was used for correlation
analysis between variables such as bivariate analysis that describes the joint distribution of the variables in the study. The result shows that individual attributes such as height, number of years in driving and attitude and behavior were associated to the types of bus accidents. Environmental hazard and traffic condition were also associated to the types of bus accidents.

Application of Occupational Safety and Health principles were recommended. Installation of safety devices, ergonomically designed driver’s and passenger’s seats, and appropriate entertainment devices were also suggested.
