The course provides employees with essential knowledge on how to recognise, manage and recover from fatigue. The course is tailored specifically to Irish law and provides comprehensive compliance training for all staff.
Overview

Tackling Fatigue for a Safer, Healthier Workplace

Fatigue is a hidden risk in today’s fast-paced and demanding work environments. When left unmanaged, it can impair concentration, slow reaction times, and increase the likelihood of mistakes and accidents. As workplace pressures grow, understanding and addressing fatigue has become a critical component of maintaining employee wellbeing, safety, and performance.

Employees are central to a safe and effective workplace. Their ability to recognise the signs of fatigue, manage their sleep health, and support one another plays a key role in reducing risks and promoting a culture of care and awareness.

Tailored to the Irish legal and workplace context, the course supports organisations in building safer, healthier, and more productive working environments.
