Fatigue is a workplace risk, particularly for transport and shift workers, where long hours, irregular schedules and operational demands can disrupt sleep and recovery.
When fatigue is an inherent part of the work environment, how can workers and organisations better understand, manage and reduce these risks?
Join fatigue risk management specialist Dr Nicholas Mabbott for a practical, evidence-based session exploring the science of sleep, fatigue and safer work.
WHEN: Monday 23 November 2026 – 11:00 am to 12:15 pm AEDT
WHERE: Online (Microsoft Teams)
The session will cover:
- how sleep works, including sleep cycles, recovery and the factors that contribute to fatigue
- practical strategies workers can use to improve sleep quality, manage fatigue and support their wellbeing
- approaches managers can use to recognise, prevent and reduce fatigue risks
- common sleep disorders and their potential effects on health, safety and performance
- how sleep connects with nutrition, movement, gut health and mental health.
This session is particularly relevant to people working in transport, logistics and shift work, as well as other workplaces where work patterns, working hours or operational demands may contribute to fatigue risk.
This session may support Health and Safety Representatives (HSRs) in proactively undertaking their role to identify fatigue-related risks and support consultation.
