2. Safety Share: Fatigue in the Workplace

3. What is Fatigue?
Fatigue is a feeling of tiredness or exhaustion that comes from physical or mental exertion that results in reduced alertness
The result of a lack of adequate, quality sleep
It is a message to the body to rest.

56% of Shift Workers Have Fallen Asleep on the Job
55% of Adults Stated They Experienced Daytime Drowsiness.

5. Fatigue Compared to Alcohol Impairment
Being awake for 17 hours impairs performance to the same level as having a .05 BAC ( Warn range; 3 day roadside license suspension)
Being awake for 20hours impairs performance to the same level as having a .1 BAC( Over.08; 90 day roadside license suspension, Six month ignition interlock)

7. Effects of Fatigue Short Term Effects: Long Term Effects
Impaired work performance
Concentration and distraction avoidance is reduced
Inability to think laterally and analytically
Reduced ability to remember and recall events and their sequences
Reduced ability to control emotions

Work Environment Conditions
Heat, cold, noise, vibration small cramped areas
Individual Factors & Factors Outside of Work

Introduce job rotation to limit a build-up of mental and physical fatigue
Substitute machinery and equipment for physically demanding tasks
Work Scheduling & Planning
Schedule safety critical work outside low body clock periods (ie: not between 2am-6am and 2pm-4pm
Ensure there are adequate workers and other resources to do the job without placing excessive demands on staff
Working Time
Allocate shift workers consecutive days off, including some weekends
Set shift rosters ahead of time and avoid sudden changes of shifts to allow workers to plan leisure time

10. Controlling Fatigue Work Environment Conditions
Avoid working during periods of extreme temperature
Install ventilation and mechanical cooling devices in hot, confined work environments
Individual Factors & Factors Outside of Work

Promote and encourage healthy lifestyles, proper nutrition, fitness, health issues
Provide Soft-Skills training to Front Line Supervisors to identify fatigued workers and how to help their workers address their issues.
