We help companies prevent accidents caused by tired employees.

BSS Africa finds where fatigue is putting people at risk, then helps fix the problem through roster reviews, workplace policies, training and employee support.

01   Why fatigue matters

Fatigue is a safety risk,
not just a feeling.

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.

01

Slower reactions

A tired employee may take longer to notice a hazard and respond.

02

Poor decisions

Fatigue can affect judgement, memory and concentration.

03

More mistakes

Long hours and night work can increase human-error risk.

Fitness for work

Ready and able

A person can perform the job safely without fatigue or another condition creating a risk.

We develop or improve your fatigue code of practice, policy and procedures.

We assist employees struggling with sleep, fatigue, mental health or other fitness-for-work concerns.
