Learn how to manage fatigue risk in your workplace
Fatigue is more than simply feeling tired or drowsy, it is an overwhelming sense of tiredness and feelings of exhaustion associated with impaired physical or cognitive functioning. Pending the
degree of impairment, individuals can be placed at risk of injury, illness or even death. Multiple factors can be associated with the development of fatigue and fatigue will often affect people in different forms, whether it be their physical or mental performance that is impaired. It is for this reason that KINNECT have developed a comprehensive Supervisor Fatigue Management Training Program that provides participants with an understanding of fatigue, the signs and symptoms of, causes and considerations and related consequences.
