Are there specific industries of interest to National Safety Council (NSC) with respect to workplace fatigue? NSC is interested in reducing fatigue-related injuries and fatalities, regardless of occupation.
Are non-US responses welcome? Generally, yes. Some countries are excluded due to US federal law. Please find a link to the countries which are not permitted here.
Can I submit more than one entry? If you have more than one in-scope technology, please submit a response for each approach. In the event of multiple submissions from the same respondent, reviewers will only consider the highest rated response for advancement.
Can academics participate in the Challenge? Technologies spun out of university laboratories are potentially of interest, if there is a commercial entity supporting its commercialization efforts. Purely academic efforts are not of interest.
Can I propose a technology that wasn’t originally developed for workplace deployment? If you can provide meaningful information about its effectiveness and can clearly demonstrate its applicability to a workplace setting, NSC will consider it.
