Worker Fatigue and Transportation Safety
This book describes how managing worker fatigue will enhance transportation safety, save lives, and prevent injuries. Because fatigue is an established transportation risk that costs lives, injures people, and disrupts professional and personal activities with economic losses in the billions, this book offers an understanding of the challenges, gaps, and needs to prevent it. The book consists of 10 chapters and the first chapter provides a foreword and an introduction. The table of contents lists the remaining chapters as: Fatigue Management in Safety-Critical Operations: History, Terminology, Management System Frameworks, and Industry Challenges; The Case for Addressing Operator Fatigue; A Method for Applying Fatigue Science to Accident Investigation; Countermeasures for Mitigating Fatigue in Motor Vehicle Operators; Fatigue-Inducing Factors in Motor Vehicle Operators; Design Standards Considerations and the Effective Prevention of Operator Fatigue; A Systems-Based Framework to Measure, Predict, and Manage Fatigue; Evolving Regulatory Approaches for Managing Fatigue Risk in Transport Operations; From Transportation Fatigue Research to Effective Practice: The Case for Evaluation; and the last chapter of the book provides an afterword.
