The Transport Workers Union of America and the International Association of Machinists are committed to raising their member's awareness of an industry killer, "the fatigued worker." Working with the Federal Aviation Administration and sleep study experts, the TWU and IAM expose the dangers of sleep deprived aviation maintenance workers in an industry that operates 365 days a year, 24 hours per day. The inherit risks posed by extreme hours, irregular shifts and outside distractions, are substantiated by medical studies and reported by medical experts like Dr. Bill Johnson, Dr. Katrina Avers and FAA Human Factors Researcher Erica Hauck. These informative articles are included in the second edition of "MX Fatigue focus," available here. Learn about the importance of the biological processes that regulate an individual's sleep patterns, the homeostatic and circadian process and why they are important to workers' safety and the safety of others. Your life may depend on it.
