Clinton is a human factors professional specializing in the management and investigation of sleep and fatigue.  Based in Ottawa, Canada, he has more than 30 years of experience helping organizations understand and manage the complex interactions of sleep, fatigue, human factors, workplace systems, individual differences, health, productivity and safety. Clinton holds a Master of Arts in Psychology/Human Factors with a concentration on behavioural sleep medicine and fatigue and has worked with organizations throughout Canada, Brazil, Ireland, England, the Netherlands, Malaysia, and the United States.  He is also a former member of the Transportation Safety Board of Canada’s Human Factors Team.

Clinton has more than an academic background, he has 30 years of multi-modal operational experience in investigating and managing sleep, fatigue, and human factors for the transportation industry.

Clinton’s strength lies in translating sleep, fatigue, and human factors science into logical, practical, and achievable approaches for the workplace. Through consulting, training, investigations, and the development and evaluation of sleep, fatigue, and human factors management programs, he helps organizations identify risks, strengthen controls, investigate related events, and develop sustainable approaches appropriate to their operations.

His philosophy is simple, the best practices are logically linked to science and suitably shaped to operational realities. His focus is on finding the right balance between what the science tells us should be done and what can realistically and effectively be achieved in the workplace.


Clinton is the recipient of the Transportation Safety Board of Canada’s Excellence in Investigations Award.
He is also the first person to be qualified by the Superior Court as an expert in sleep-related fatigue; case presided over 
by Justice Edward Gareau.
