On March 20-23, 2017, thirteen participants from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) attended the 10^th International Conference on Managing Fatigue, in San Diego, California. This year’s conference was the first held in the U.S. since 2009, and was attended by over 260 scientists and industry experts from around the world.

The “Managing Fatigue” conference series, established in 1993, is a continuing forum for research updates and discussions within the fatigue management community. The theme of this year’s conference was “Managing Fatigue to Improve Safety, Wellness, and Effectiveness.” While historically focusing on fatigue in the transportation sector, this evolving series included participants from a variety of sectors this year including natural resources, mining, healthcare, and the military. A summary of the presentations from the NIOSH and CDC participants follows.
