Fatigue is a form of impairment and a recognized workplace hazard. Causes of fatigue may include long work hours, shift work, prolonged mental or physical work, or extended periods of stress or anxiety. Boring or repetitive tasks can intensify feelings of fatigue.
Fatigue at work can impact a worker’s decision-making ability, attention levels, reaction times, and performance. It can lead to increased risk-taking and errors in judgement, and higher incident rates.
