1. Pressures and challenges in the transportation industry

The transportation industry, especially express delivery, is facing tremendous pressure. In order to meet customers' demand for fast delivery, transporters often need to work long hours and face high physical and mental exhaustion. They may need to drive vehicles for long periods of time and frequently carry heavy objects. This high-intensity work state poses a potential threat to the body.
  • Long-term driving may cause problems with the driver's cervical and lumbar spine. Since the driver needs to maintain a fixed posture during driving, long-term muscle tension can easily cause muscle strain and spinal diseases.
  • Frequent heavy lifting also puts a great strain on workers’ muscles, bones and joints, especially the pressure on the spine, which may cause irreversible damage over time.
  • 2. Potential impact of health issues on transport efficiency

    When there are health problems with transport personnel, it will inevitably affect the efficiency of express delivery. A driver with spinal disease may not be able to concentrate on driving for a long time, which increases the risk during transportation. He may also need to rest frequently due to physical discomfort, which will extend the transportation time.
  • For porters, if the spine is damaged, their work ability will be significantly reduced and they will not be able to complete high-intensity handling tasks, thus affecting the loading and unloading speed of express parcels.
  • In addition, health problems may also lead to an increase in employee leave and resignation, requiring companies to continuously recruit and train new employees. This not only increases costs but also affects the stability and work efficiency of the team to a certain extent.
  • III. Enterprises’ responsibilities and measures for employee health

    In this context, transportation companies should be aware of the importance of employee health and take active measures to protect the health of their employees.
  • First of all, companies should arrange working hours and workload reasonably to avoid overwork of employees. They can also reduce the physical burden of employees by optimizing transportation routes and improving the automation of loading and unloading equipment.
  • Secondly, strengthen employees' health training and education, increase their attention to their own health, and let them understand how to prevent and relieve physical fatigue and injuries at work.
  • In addition, we provide regular physical examinations for employees to promptly identify potential health problems and provide appropriate treatment and rehabilitation support.
  • IV. Attention and support from society

    In addition to the efforts of companies themselves, society should also pay more attention and support to the health issues in the transportation industry.
  • The government can introduce relevant policies and regulations to regulate and supervise the working conditions of transportation companies and protect the legitimate rights and interests of employees.
  • Medical institutions can develop specialized rehabilitation treatment programs and health consultation services based on the characteristics of the transportation industry.
  • All sectors of society should also respect and understand the work of transportation personnel and create a better working environment and social atmosphere for them.
  • 5. Looking forward to the future balance between transport and health

    With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the development of society, we have reason to believe that the future express transportation industry will be able to pay more attention to the health of employees while ensuring efficient services. Through intelligent transportation management systems, more humane work arrangements and the joint efforts of the whole society, a win-win situation of transportation efficiency and employee health can be achieved. In short, although diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis seem to be far away from the air express transportation industry, there is actually a close connection between the two. Paying attention to the health of transportation personnel is not only the responsibility of enterprises, but also an inevitable requirement for social development. Only on the basis of ensuring the health of employees can the sustainable development of the transportation industry be achieved.
