Fend Off Fatigue
Why be proactive against worker fatigue and sleep deprivation?
Tired, sleepy workers risk their own health and well-being and negatively impact their co-workers and overall workplace safety and productivity.
- Increased risk of accidents and injuries: 70% more likely in sleepy workers.
- Higher rate of absences: Sleep-deprived workers are twice as likely to call off, totaling 1.23 million working days lost in the U.S. at a cost of nearly $2,000 per employee.
- Compromised job performance: Fuzzy thinking, irritability, and lower productivity are just a few by-products of sleepiness. Shift work, common in industries with continuous operations, is especially disruptive to our natural sleep cycles and can cause workers to experience insomnia and extreme sleepiness while awake.
- Substantial financial costs: Loss of productivity and missed work are estimated to cost the U.S. between $280 billion and $411 billion each year.
