Fatigue is a recognized problem in many facets of the human
enterprise. It is not confined to any one area of activity but
enters all situations in which humans have to perform for extended
intervals of time. Most problematic are the circumstances in which
obligatory action is continuous and the results of failure are
evidently serious or even catastrophic. Therefore, the modern media
especially highlights fatigue-related failures in industries such
as transportation, materials processing and healthcare. It can be,
and indeed is, no coincidence that most of the spectacular failures
in process control that have resulted in the world's largest
industrial accidents have occurred in the small hours of the
morning when the circadian rhythm is lowest and operator fatigue
itself peaks. While there have been legislative efforts made at
state, federal and international levels to regulate working hours
of employees, the appropriate implementation of such legislation is
still a long way off. The Handbook of Operator Fatigue provides a
comprehensive account of the subject to serve as the definitive
reference work for researchers, students and practitioners alike.
The volume features 30 chapters written by experts from around the
world to address each important facet of fatigue, including: the
scale of the fatigue problem (Section I), the nature of fatigue
(Section II), how to assess fatigue (Section III), the impact of
fatigue on health (Section IV), fatigue in the workplace (Section
V), the neurological basis of fatigue (VI), sleep disorders (VII),
and the design of countermeasures to fatigue (VIII).
