Abstract
Metropolitan rail companies across Australia implement fatigue risk management strategies to ensure that train drivers are provided with adequate sleep opportunities. However, some risk management strategies, such as fatigue management training, are difficulty to operate in the workplace where drivers are influenced by organisational culture. This paper refers to metropolitan train drivers’ intra-shift opportunities for rest and recovery and how implicit elements of the organisational culture, such as camaraderie, both aid and disrupt fatigue management.
