"Waking Up to Fatigue Factors in the Workplace" Webinar

This webinar will dispel common myths about sleep, inform on little known facts about sleep, and present many useful and practical strategies that can be used to manage fatigue at work and at home. Attendees will be empowered by several practical strategies and tools to better manage fatigue in their workplace.

Did you know…

• Fatigue is 4X more likely to cause worker impairment than drugs or alcohol
• A fatigued employee is 3X more likely to be involved in a workplace incident
• Fatigue is estimated to cause 20% of all vehicle fatalities
• Unmanaged fatigue contributes to diabetes, obesity and heart disease

When work and/or personal requirements cause us to extend our normal waking hours, it is important to recognize the health and safety issues that are created. Recognizing the symptoms of fatigue, and assessing risks in relation to fatigue, can help inform when mitigation is needed.

In-Scope’s unique approach for fatigue management focuses on the importance of engaging and connecting with employees on the topic of fatigue through education and awareness building. This awareness allows for a foundation to communicate on the issue of fatigue and to develop processes to better manage the issue.

At the end of this session, participants will:

• Be aware of current best practices and be able to apply practical strategic approaches to managing fatigue in their organization
• Recognize how fatigue impacts workplace safety and worker health
• Be able to discuss current research, sleep based physiology, fatigue issues and barriers to implementation in relation to fatigue risk management
