Abstract

In industries which run continuous and heavy-duty plants such as oil, gas, and petrochemical industries, shift work is commonly applied to ensure production flow. After the outbreak of COVID-19, businesses need to adapt quickly so that their activities can run. This study discusses the influence of COVID-19 on control room operators' psychological fatigue in the oil, gas, and petrochemical industry. A simple yet effective method was implemented to measure sleep quality and quantity, cognitive performance, and fatigue incidents. It was used to observe the effect of the COVID-19 situation on the psychological fatigue of control room operators due to the new policy implemented. Because of the pandemic, it is important to examine the fatigue effect on control room operators during. This study aims to provide a suggestion that can be used by decision makers to address human errors with fewer workplace accidents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

新冠肺炎疫情对油气石化行业控制室操作人员心理疲劳的影响

在石油、天然气、石化等连续、重型设备运行的行业中，通常采用倒班工作来保证生产流程。在2019冠状病毒病爆发后，企业需要迅速适应，以便其活动能够正常进行。本研究探讨新冠肺炎疫情对石油、天然气和石化行业控制室操作人员心理疲劳的影响。采用一种简单有效的方法来测量睡眠质量和数量、认知表现和疲劳事件。观察新冠疫情对控制室操作人员心理疲劳的影响。由于疫情大流行，在疫情期间检查控制室操作人员的疲劳影响是很重要的。本研究旨在为决策者提供建议，以减少COVID-19大流行期间的工作场所事故，从而解决人为错误。版权所有©2021 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd。
