What impacts a workers health and wellbeing?
Fatigue is not a disease, but rather a symptom of many different situations, illnesses or conditions and can be defined quite simply as a feeling of weariness, tiredness or lack of energy. The presentation of fatigue can be unpredictable and its causes diverse, making its management difficult. Factors include;
- Smoking
- Nutrition
- Alcohol
- Physical Activity
- Stress
- Health Surveillance
- Obesity
- Tiredness (Sleep)
No one is immune and the effects can range from an error in a familiar task to a fatal accident. To reduce the risk of fatigue related accidents, organisations should develop comprehensive Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS).
