WHY FATIGUE MATTERS
Fatigue reduces alertness, concentration, judgement and reaction time. In a mine, factory, vehicle, control room or emergency service, that can lead to serious mistakes and accidents.
Slower reactions
A tired employee may take longer to notice a hazard and respond.
Poor decisions
Fatigue can affect judgement, memory and concentration.
More mistakes
Long hours and night work can increase human-error risk.
Ready and able
A person can perform the job safely without fatigue or another condition creating a risk.
