Accession Number: 01455051
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: This article briefly looks at working conditions associated with rapid renewal projects that can increase workforce fatigue and stress, reducing the levels of workforce safety and productivity. Research being conducted by Battelle Memorial Institute in Seattle in cooperation with the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) is summarized. Phase 1 of the research identified typical construction scenarios, investigated the extent of worker and manager fatigue and responses to fatigue, outlined potential countermeasures and other mitigation strategies for fatigue, and estimated the future extent of rapid renewal construction and related workforce needs. Phase 2 is developing an integrated suite of products for fatigue management. An outreach program is in development to increase stakeholder understanding and support for implementing best practices for fatigue management.
