Summary

More than half of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) workers report work-related mental and physical fatigue. Odds of injury among fatigued EMS workers are nearly double that of non-fatigued workers. There is a compelling need to reduce fatigue among EMS workers, yet few EMS organizations have a formal fatigue management program and many may not be cost-effective or evidence-based. This trial addresses national goals of the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) and tests a novel approach to fatigue risk management that is easily scalable to large workforces and low-cost for employers of shift workers.
