Staying awake means staying alive."
This is a slogan used to describe a research
study on Sleep Apnea sponsored by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA). The primary goal of the FMCSA is to reduce
commercial motor vehicle related fatalities, as well as the number of
persons injured in and by commercial vehicle related crashes by 50% by
the year 2010. To assist in reaching this goal, the FMCSA established
the "Medical Expert Panel." This panel, comprised of five of our
Nation’s most distinguished practicing physicians, has recommended
that the FMCSA make substantial changes to the current guidelines
pertaining to Sleep Apnea, and incorporate methods to determine
excessive daytime sleepiness in drivers. The FMCSA is currently
reviewing data to determine the appropriate re-certification process
that is to be launched within the next 24 to 36 months.
What Employers Can Do
With assistance from the Sleep Center, employers taking a proactive
approach can save thousands in healthcare costs each year, and

meaningful and measurable contribution to organizational and personal
well-being by recognizing and addressing the impact of sleep problems
on individuals. |
