Night Operations

Early Morning Accidents The incident at Three Mile Island nuclear plant occurred at 4am The Chernobyl nuclear disaster happened in the early morning hours The Union Carbide chemical accident in Bhopal happened in the pre-dawn hours This is a time of great vulnerability for truck drivers, railroads, miners, postal workers, …even surgeons and nurses.

Early Morning Accidents The Titanic…

Night Work Advantages Reduced traffic volume Better access to work site Longer work shifts – maybe Cooler temperatures Reduced business impact

Night Work Concerns Visibility Noise & glare Work quality Staffing issues Cost – labor, materials, traffic control Logistics, supervision Worker & driver alertness Impaired drivers Higher speeds SAFETY

Night Safety Concerns Irresponsible driver behavior High speed Driver confusion Work space intrusions Poor visibility Irresponsible worker behavior

Overview of Night work Concerns Night work entails additional risks Night work can be safe for workers and travelers Enhanced traffic controls reduce risks Planning is critical for safe, efficient operations

Why is Safety a Concern at Night? Reduced visibility Drunk/drugged drivers Drowsy drivers Higher operating speeds past the work area Implies that crash risks, and maybe crash severity, is higher when working at night.

Dangers of Shift Work According to Occupational Hazards Magazine: – Work related injuries increase 15.2% for swing shift – Work related injuries increase 27.9% for night shift – Injury numbers are compared to day- shift operations – Employees are 36% more likely to be injured on their fourth consecutive night shift.

Circadian Rhythms Humans are biologically day – oriented as a species – Functions best during the daylight hours – Sleep best at night

Biological Hazards Chronic sleep problems affect 60-80% of all shift workers Stomach disorders are 4-5 times more likely Chronic fatigue impacts 80% of shift workers

Nutrition Start the day with high protein and shift to carbohydrates as bedtime approaches Try to eat one meal with the family daily Establish a meal schedule (normal for you) whatever hours you work Eat at least 3 meals spaced at consistent intervals to fuel your body

Nutrition Shift workers are more susceptible to digestive problems due to irregular eating habits. Working at night means that you eat at night when the stomach and digestive system are typically at rest

The amount of light a motorist requires to see during nighttime doubles every 13 years

5 Practical Solutions Effective signs Enhanced channelization Visible workers Visible work vehicles/equipment Effective temporary lighting

Worker Visibility High visibility apparel essential Addressed in MUTCD Part 6 ANSI/ISEA Class 3 for night work Illumination plus hi-vis apparel

Temporary Lighting for Night Work Good lighting essential for night work (Safety, quality, productivity, moral) Adequate illumination, glare control Lighting plan recommended

Work area and equipment should be well lit

Illumination for Flagging Provide temporary illumination for flagging stations Supplement permanent roadway lighting Avoid glare, shadows, backlighting Use floodlight towers or other overhead luminaries

Unsafe condition
