Fatigue is a human factor that every worker deals with and therefore, every workplace should address. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that 1 in 3 adults are not getting adequate sleep, which increases the risk of a fatigue-related incident at work. In this presentation, advocates from the National Safety Council, private industry, and academia will highlight various fatigue risk factors and provide research- and evidence-based recommendations for effectively addressing workplace fatigue. Learn about the five essential components of a comprehensive fatigue risk management system: education and training, policies and practices, shared responsibility, fatigue mitigation, and data-driven programs and continuous improvement.
