“…Factors such as circadian rhythm disturbances, sleep deprivation, and cockpit automation all contribute to pilot fatigue, which may manifest itself via inflight micro-sleeps Caldwell, 2005). Pilot micro-sleeps occur most often during the cruise portion of a long flight.…”

“…Pilot micro-sleeps occur most often during the cruise portion of a long flight. Furthermore, pilots are nine times more likely to engage in micro-sleeps during nighttime flights compared to daytime flights (Caldwell, 2005). Interestingly, the pilots seemed to be unaware that they had been dozing off (Caldwell, 2005).…”

“…Furthermore, pilots are nine times more likely to engage in micro-sleeps during nighttime flights compared to daytime flights (Caldwell, 2005). Interestingly, the pilots seemed to be unaware that they had been dozing off (Caldwell, 2005). Roach et al (2011) conducted a study investigating the effects of fatigue on the amount of planned in-flight sleep obtained by airline pilots in crew rest quarters during long-haul duty periods.…”

“…The industry is mixed in its acceptance of this countermeasure toward fatigue. Scientific studies (Caldwell, 2005;Rosekind et al, 1995) have suggested advantages toward the use of short naps in aviation, yet only a few countries have adopted and implemented procedures for the use of CRIP. The current study has presented CRIP from a consumer's perspective and found differences in willingness to fly based on factors such as length of the flight, the number of passengers, gender, and whether or not an individual was a pilot.…”

“…Such operations have the potential to create situations in which people are driven to work continuously. This has certainly been the case in military operations where technological advances in night vision devices and other sensors coupled with a global battle space has led to a doctrine of continuous, round-the-clock operations (Caldwell, 2003;Krueger, 1989). Such military operations are characterized by circadian disruptions, shift work, sleep loss, and high stress levels which may result in high levels of fatigue and sleepiness while on duty (Simons & Valk, 1999).…”

Background The transportation and utilities industries include establishments engaged in the movement of passengers and freight, or the provision of public power, water, and other services. Along with the warehousing industry, they make up the US National Occupational Research Agenda's Transportation, Warehousing and Utilities (TWU) industry sector. In 2018 the sector composed 5% of the US workforce, with approximately 8 million workers. TWU workers experienced 19% of all fatalities among U.S. workers in 2018 and 7% of total occupational injuries and illnesses. Methods Around‐the‐clock operations, heavy workloads, long and irregular shifts, complicated schedules, and time pressures characterize work across the US TWU sector. However, there are considerable differences in worker priorities and concerns between TWU industries. Major areas of concern within the sector include disparities in work schedules; required training for employee fatigue awareness and prevention; physical and mental job demands; and safety culture. Results Strategies for fatigue mitigation are critical to reduce the prevalence of injuries, safety‐critical events, and crashes in TWU workers. Further research on the incidence and characterization of fatigue among TWU workers will guide the development of effective mitigation strategies. The influence of work scheduling on missed sleep opportunities and disrupted circadian rhythms should be determined. Evaluation of fatigue mitigation strategies can lead to the adoption of the most effective ones for each TWU industry. Conclusion Implementation of effective strategies is critical for the health, safety, wellbeing, and productivity of workers in the TWU sector.
