Fatigue

  • While Turnaround season is pushing oil and gas workers extra hard, please remember that fatigue is an impairment which may cause workers to be unfit for duty as it reduces the cognitive and physical abilities of workers.
    • If you are experiencing fatigue, you MUST inform your supervisor to develop a mitigation plan
  • If your workers are experiencing fatigue, coordinate with workers (and site contacts as applicable) to develop a mitigation plan which may include:
    • Ensuring Workers are getting enough rest between shifts (on average, people need at least 7-9 hours of sleep every day)
    • Ensuring Workers are receiving sufficient rest breaks during shifts
    • Providing workers with resources on how to improve their sleep
