Abstract

A statistical study of the construction performance records of Foster Wheeler Energy UK Ltd shows a strong association (R-square = 0.63) between improving safety and improving productivity. 

Following the discussion of each major issue, position statements address ways to deal with fatigue in specific contexts with the goal of using current scientific knowledge to update policy and provide tools and techniques for improving air safety.

Among other conclusions, “The AlertMeter^® demonstrated strong validity as a measure of fatigue. It demonstrated significant concurrent validity with the psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) and self-ratings of fatigue (KSS). Overall, the AlertMeter^® is an effective and valid tool for detecting fatigue.”
