Alert Fatigue Management offers pragmatic, results-oriented training, which covers all aspects of fatigue, from causes to management practices. Employees are empowered with the tools to minimise the negative effects of fatigue. Our training aims to build fatigue awareness and improve your employee’s quality of sleep, work and life.

What is Fatigue?
Fatigue is an experience of mental or physical weariness that results in reduced alertness. It is also an important OH&S issue that requires attention and is a particular issue in organisations that require employees to work long, extended or irregular hours. Fatigued employees become stressed, lack concentration, lower productivity and increase the risk of workplace accidents.

Duty of Care
The OH&S Act (2004) states employers have a duty of care to be aware of workplace risk such as fatigue, to prevent the chance of accident or injury. People who are in sleep debt are dangerous to themselves and their colleagues. Educating employees about the effects of fatigue and teaching them practical strategies to improve sleep quality and increase alertness will reduce the risk of litigation. 

Fatigue Awareness
Increasingly, fatigue is being recognised as a safety issue of high priority. We believe raising the awareness of fatigue is the first stage in creating a safe and productive team.  Fatigue training educates people on ‘best practice’ techniques for adaption to shift-work and sleep deprivation.

Associated Costs of Fatigue
Tired, lethargic and unmotivated employees will reduce morale and may produce an undesirable workplace culture. Left unrecognized, customer service standards will fall, productivity will decrease and the risk of costly mistakes and accidents will rise.
