Abstract
Abstract Alertness management is of interest in industry because of its criticality to production rate, quality control, and operator safety. Alertness management includes: (a) elimination of factors conducive to alertness decrement, (b) addition of conditions or procedures which enhance alertness, (c) reduction of the consequences of alertness decrements, and (d) personnel monitoring when necessary. The criteria for evaluating the controlling elements in the task, physical environment, social environment, and procedures which may lead to decrements in alertness are discussed. Monitoring procedures are described and recommendations suggested which should lead to improved alertness management in the industrial situation. An alertness checklist is presented for use in analyzing particular job situations.
