RSMA has produced Fatigue Management Awareness resources for members which focus on the causes of fatigue and what can be done to adequately manage the issue.
Fatigue is more than tiredness. It is a state of physical and/or mental exhaustion which reduces a person’s ability to perform work safely and effectively. Fatigue can lead to errors and in turn an increase in workplace incidents and injuries. Construction work can be physically demanding which can increase fatigue.
The resources are:
- Fatigue Poster
- Fatigue Management Toolbox Talk 1

- Fatigue Management Toolbox Talk 3
