• Description:
  Key Messages: 1. Measuring and mitigating mineworker fatigue presents unique challenges compared to other industries. 2. A multilevel systems approach based on research and implementation completed in other industries may help address mineworker fatigue. 3. Implementing a lighting-based fatigue intervention for underground miners may be necessary as well, yet remains challenging due to a complex environment, utter darkness, and shiftwork schedules.
