Objective
In 1995 NWO launched the research programme Mental Fatigue in Work Situations,
in which universities, the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific
Research (TNO), businesses and trade unions participated. It was a large-scale
research brought on by a recognition of the relatively considerable extent of
work-related mental problems and their relatively high social and economic
costs. The programme has two objectives. The first is to improve scientific
knowledge concerning the psychological, biomedical and health care aspects of
work-related fatigue. The second is to devise scientific instruments for labour
legislation, instruments that may assist employers and workers in their policy
to reduce psycho-social, environmental, mental and physical hazards and curtail
sick leave and labour disability.
