Shift Work and Fatigue Awareness (Operative)
Learn how shift work affects sleep, health, and safety, and explore strategies to manage fatigue on the job.
Why This Course Matters
Reduce fatigue risks and improve safety in shift-based work
Fatigue from prolonged exertion, sleep disruption, or irregular working hours is a major contributor to workplace accidents, errors, and reduced productivity. Poorly organised shifts can impair both mental and physical performance, leading to slower reactions, memory lapses, and reduced awareness. This course explores the causes and symptoms of fatigue, its impact on safety and health, and the additional challenges posed by night work — helping employees stay alert and perform at their best.
