Courtesy NTSB The National Transportation Safety Board today issued its 2010 Federal Most Wanted List of Transportation Safety Improvements, adding rail, aviation and marine issues, and updating the status of other issues on the list. At the same time, the Board removed the issue areas dealing with improved protection for school bus passengers and fatigue in the pipeline industry. “Every one of the hundreds of currently open safety recommendations address concerns that the Safety Board has uncovered in its accident investigations,” NTSB Chairman Deborah AP Hersman said. “But the recommendations on the Most Wanted list represent those improvements that can have the widest benefit.” Besides removing two issue areas on the list, the Board reviewed the remaining 13 issue areas on the list and added two new ones. Each issue area is color coded by the NTSB to designate its action/timeliness: Red for Unacceptable Response; Yellow for Acceptable Response, Progressing Slowly; and Green for Acceptable Response, Progressing in a Timely Manner. Reduce Accidents and Incidents Caused by Human Fatigue in the Aviation Industry • Set working hour limits for flight crews, aviation mechanics, and air traffic controllers based on fatigue research, circadian rhythms, and sleep and rest requirements. • Develop a fatigue awareness and countermeasures training program for controllers and those who schedule them for duty. • Develop guidance for operators to establish fatigue management systems, including a methodology that will continually assess the effectiveness of these systems. www.ntsb.gov
