Keeping the railway open 24/7 pushes us to our limits. Thousands of us work shifts that disrupt sleeping patterns. And many of our drivers are active between 2am and 6am and 2pm to 4pm, peak periods for fatigue. For too long we’ve accepted we must push through tiredness. After being awake for more than 17 hours, your brain performance can become as impaired as if you were at the UK drink drive limit.
You wouldn’t drive while drunk, so why drive while dangerously tired? This session will explore the consequences of what happens when road risk and fatigue meet and give some best practice guidance for how to prevent driving whilst fatigued.
