Fatigue and shift work

Plan shifts and rest so tired workers do not drive, lift or operate plant.

Key points

  • Tired workers make the same errors as drunk ones. Treat fatigue as a hazard in your risk assessment.
  • Keep shifts to 12 hours or less, overtime included. Avoid quick changeovers between shifts.
  • Move high-risk tasks out of the 2am to 6am low point where you can.
  • A worker who says they are too tired to drive or lift must be taken off that task.
