• Abstract:
  This study of the impact of reduced light conditions (under winter Daylight Savings Time) on school trip safety was performed in two phases. The first was the identification and categorization of increased school trip safety problems associated with DST and the countermeasures in use to mitigate these problems. The second phase involved a critique of these identified countermeasures by the survey sample in terms of their accident reduction potential, cost, user acceptance and implementation difficulties.
