The Role of Human Factors in Cargo Tank Rollovers

This research seeks to obtain opinions from a wide range of carrier experts (from carriers with excellent safety records) on best practices for preventing rollovers. This includes discussion of topics such as a driver’s behavior and health, carrier safety culture, dispatching practices, fatigue management, etc. Study findings will be used to support recommendations for development of online training to promote adoption of best practices for avoiding cargo tank rollovers.
