Fatigue has a significant impact on both the quality of our lives and our ability to do our jobs. Lack of sleep increases the likelihood of poor mental health and stress and anxiety. A fatigued employee will be less alert, will have slower reaction times and will have less interest in work.
More than 3.5 million people in the UK are shift employees. Poorly designed shift working arrangements and management can result in fatigue, which in turn is a major reason for work-related accidents alone.
Employers have a legal duty to take the necessary measures to reduce fatigue at work. This makes it vital for both employers and their staff to develop an understanding of this issue at work with appropriate fatigue awareness training.
Research has shown that lack of sleep is a significant hazard and contributor to human error, ill-health and injuries, as well as decreased productivity. It is estimated that fatigue is responsible for some 20% of work-related accidents, costing the UK around £115-240 million every year.
Due to shift work, hectic schedules and technology, many of us are not getting adequate rest each night. Over time, this lost sleep accumulates and becomes chronic fatigue.
