Anyone can be affected by fatigue. Some types of work have higher risks of fatigue, particularly if you are working long hours or working out of ordinary work hours or even shift work.

Fatigue is more than feeling tired. Fatigue is mental and physical exhaustion that reduces your ability to perform your work safely.

Everyone in the workplace has a work health and safety duty and can help to ensure fatigue doesn’t create a risk to health and safety at work.

Always check with your supervisor or OH&S rep before doing any work you are not familiar with.
