NEW APPROACHES TO DUTY ROSTER ORGANISATION

Drivers working in the public transit industry belong to a category of workers whose health has to be monitored regularly to ensure that they are healthy enough to drive vehicles used to convey passengers. This paper discusses research conducted to examine the organisation of duty rosters to meet operational requirements and employees' needs. The work was done in association with a number of health insurance providers, and it sought to develop and implement innovative duty roster models that would help reduce the negative impact of shift work on employees' health and welfare. A central prerequisite for the acceptance of the results of the project was the active participation of drivers in the development of new approaches to help resolve these problems and test them in practice.
