Fatigue on the job

Tired people make mistakes. Long days, early starts and heat make it worse.

Key points

• Get enough sleep before shift.
• Take breaks and eat.
• Swap tasks when attention drops.
• Watch for nodding off, slow reactions and missed steps.
• Speak up if you are too tired to work safely.

Ask the crew

• How long have people been working this week?
• What tasks need the most attention today?
