The first “Key Issue Roundtable” of ASSE’s Safety 2013 takes place Tuesday morning on the subject of fatigue. Specifically, “Fatigue in Transportation: Latest in Regulations & Research.” The “town hall” type of open forum/speak your mind is sponsored by ASSE’sTransportation Practice Specialty.
Fatigue is a safety hazard, especially in the transportation sector, with truck drivers, express delivery service drivers, long-distance bus drivers, and of course airline pilots. Several bus crashes in recent years have seen fatigue as a contributing factor.
