Impact of overwork of professional drivers on national security

Preobremenjevanje poklicnih voznikov je v današnjem času problem skoraj v vseh transportnih podjetjih, saj je njihov cilj le, da bo prevozni proces izveden z nizkimi stroški in v čim krajšem času, to pa pomeni, da vodilni za dosego uspeha čim bolj izkoristijo svoje delavce in jih s tem preobremenijo.

Also, fatigue is one of the main factors responsible for causing traffic accidents due to its negative impact on natural human capabilities, which are important to safely operate a motor vehicle
