3 Fatigue Related Disasters 5 The Keil Centre, Effects on Task Performance Consequences of Fatigue Reduced alertness Affects tasks requiring vigilance & concentration Momentarily may fall asleep micro-sleep Such as: driving, control room operations Drowsy Driving causes between 15-20% of UK road accidents These account for only fall asleep accidents Absence of skid marks or other signs of hard braking Other causes have been eliminated (e.g. bad road, mechanical defect) Statistic is likely much higher if we account for lower level impairment Source: Horne & Reyner (1998) Vehicle accidents related to sleep: a review, Occupational & Environmental Medicine, Vol. 56, The Keil Centre,

4 Effects on Task Performance Consequences of Fatigue Interpersonal skills Become more reserved & less communicative Affects activities such as: shift handover, interacting with colleagues & customers Lose situational awareness ( big picture) Affects team / operational management Attention to detail adversely affected Analysing data, working on the right equipment Complex decisions Attention tunnelling, difficulty handling uncertainty The Keil Centre, Wakefulness Comparing Fatigue & Alcohol 40 subjects 2 experimental conditions o Sleep deprivation (28hrs) o Alcohol (1 standard drink every 30mins from 0830) Performance measured half hourly via computer based tests The Keil Centre,
