Improving the Safety, Health, and Productivity of Transit Operators Through Adequate Restroom Access
| 项目名称： | Improving the Safety, Health, and Productivity of Transit Operators Through Adequate Restroom Access |
| 摘要： | Inadequate restroom access has been an issue for transit operators for many years. This issue not only impacts the transit professionals� well-being, but threatens their ability to perform essential job functions safely. Despite increasing attention, the relevant sanitation standards are not consistently applied to the mobile workforce or to public transit employees. The safety impact of restricted urination is a persistent concern given recent evidence of its cognitive impact. The lack of effective policies and procedures for ensuring restroom access has contributed to transit operator stress in favor of short-term productivity. Practical, simple approaches have been adopted but are not in use at all transit agencies. Even when the policies and procedures are in place, operational demands can override the safety and health directives. Despite the long-standing problems, the actual financial, operational, and organizational costs to employers, the worker health burden, and the public safety impact have not yet been quantified or addressed. The objective of this research is to develop resources that include implementable strategies that address how to improve restroom access for transit operators. This research will identify the safety, health, and financial impacts to transit agencies, operators, and the public arising from transit operators� inadequate restroom access. |
