dc.description.abstract	Fatigue is increasingly being recognised as a cause of increased risk for crashes in all four transportation modalities. As society increases reliance on 24-hour operations for commercial transportation, potential disruption to the homeostatic and circadian systems of the vehicle operator leads to heightened risk of a negative consequence. One community response to this problem is to enact laws that are designed to prevent excessive fatigue, or to punish incidents that occur due to it. This thesis examines the laws regulating the length of time operators may work, as well as criminal and Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) laws, Workers Compensation schemes, Industrial Relations arrangements and Negligence.
