Rena’s work at the NSW IRMRC is focused in two main areas of injury research – road safety and occupational safety, particularly from a human factors perspective. She has an ongoing interest in operator fatigue as a risk factor for injury and has been involved in large scale surveys on the issue, analyses of injury and accident datasets, and a number of field studies into the effects of rostering on fatigue and performance in long distance heavy vehicle drivers.
