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. / Thesis (PhDBehaviouralScience)--University of South Australia, 2006.

It presents the evolution of the constitutional and infra-constitutional legislation about working time duration, showing the basic structure and the existing flexibility points, as well as identifying the main jurisprudential agreements about polemic points related to the theme that caused juridical disputes between workers and employers, especially in the last decade ofthe 20th century. The research also deals with the history of the daily working time, the differentiation relative to other working times, its main kind of limitations, the international regulation and the debate about the flexible working time in advanced capitalist countries, presenting a comparative study about the working time public regulation in France. And, finally, the study analyses the structure and evolution of working relations in Brazil, as well as the labor union's movement and the profile ofthe collective negotiations related to the working time in Brazil in the decade of 1990 / Mestrado / Economia Social e do Trabalho / Mestre em Desenvolvimento Econômico
