Whether you're a driver, machine operator, manager, or business owner, it's essential that you know how to manage your own fatigue, and recognise fatigue in others. 15-30% of vehicle accidents have fatigue as the most probable cause, and fatigue and sleepiness are major contributors to accidents in the workplace.
Fatigue is a risk that must be managed under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015. We've assembled 7 experts to explain fatigue and sleepiness, and how you can manage it in the workplace, whatever type of work you do. This is augmented with over 100 hours of research from our team.
