520 |a How fatigued are safety-critical railroad employees such as Train and Engine (T & E) workers, passenger T & E workers, signalmen, Maintenance of Way (MOW) workers and dispatchers, and how does their level of fatigue affect the safety of railroad operations? Are statutory or regulatory limitations on hours of work sufficient to prevent worker fatigue? Fatigue is largely a function of sleep and circadian rhythms. Sleep, in turn, is a function of work schedules. Work duration, the time of day (TOD) of work, and schedule variability are aspects of work schedules that determine when sleep can occur. Fa.

505 8 |a Why gao did this studywhat gao recommends; what gao found; abbreviations list; background; rsia's requirements increased rest time and decreased fatigue risk while leaving opportunities for further reductions in fatigue risk from night work; new hours of service requirements have led to operational and administrative changes that have increased some railroads' costs; too soon to assess fra's hours of service oversight, but implementation of pilot project and waiver provisions could yield more data to address fatigue; conclusion; recommendations for executive action.
