The issues
that affect us
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that driver fatigue is responsible for at least 100,000 motor vehicle accidents each year in North America. This translates into approximately 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries and $ 12.5 billion in monetary losses.
In a recent survey, the National Sleep Foundation observed that 60% of adult drivers (approximately 168 million people) say they have driven a vehicle despite feeling drowsy in the 12 months before the survey. More than a third of people (about 103 million people) report that they have already fallen asleep while driving.
Similarly, 7.4% of the North American workforce is assigned to night shifts and subject to reduced alertness resulting in a 60% higher rate of accidents than that of day shifts. Between 32% and 36% of night workers report falling asleep at work at least once a week.
