Fatigue management involves strategies and systems designed to ensure that employees receive adequate rest between shifts to maintain productivity and safety.
This is particularly important in high-risk industries such as healthcare, transportation, and manufacturing, where long hours or night shifts are common.
Effective fatigue management practices may include implementing mandatory rest breaks, rotating shifts to prevent prolonged night work, and providing training on recognizing fatigue symptoms.
By prioritizing fatigue management, employers can reduce the risk of accidents and promote overall employee health.
