Working Group | Identifying and Managing Fatigue

Join Us for our working group on ‘Identifying and Managing Fatigue’ at Century Yuasa Batteries

Feeling worn out or noticing slow responses on-site? Fatigue is a silent safety hazard—impacting performance, decision-making, and overall workplace health.

Join our hands-on Fatigue Management Workshop, designed to help you:

• Spot fatigue early: Recognise both physical and mental signs before they become risky.

• Understand the root causes: Learn how shift patterns, sleep disruption, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices contribute to fatigue.

• Build an effective control strategy: Explore a systematic framework—identify risks, assess them, implement practical controls, and continuously review effectiveness.

• Foster a safety-first culture: Encourage consultation, shared responsibility, and proactive fatigue management among employees and supervisors.

By blending expert insights with practical tools, this workshop empowers teams to proactively reduce fatigue-related hazards—for safer, smarter operations.

What is fatigue?

Fatigue is not just feeling tired—it’s a state of physical and/or mental exhaustion that diminishes one's ability to work safely and effectively. It may stem from prolonged activity, sleep deprivation, or circadian disruption, and can be triggered by both work-related and personal factors, accumulating over time.

Why it matters:

Beyond raising immediate safety risks such as impaired judgment, delayed reaction times, and loss of concentration, fatigue can also contribute to long-term health issues like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and mental health challenges.
