Work-related fatigue: a hazard for vulnerable workers.

Details

• Personal Author:
  Cunningham TR ; Guerin RJ
• Description:
  Key messages: 1. Working hours, sleep, and fatigue, are significant occupational safety and health issues for vulnerable working populations including young workers, immigrant workers, and small business employees. 2. There is an increasing focus on non-traditional occupational safety and health issues among vulnerable worker populations, and this provides an opportunity for researchers to address work-related fatigue and working hours among workers in high-risk populations. 3. Interventions to address work-related fatigue among specific vulnerable worker groups should also take into account the multiple other vulnerable groups that workers may belong to.
