Fatigue arises from work-related and non-work-related sources. It’s important to recognise the impacts both can have on a worker’s health and safety, either separately or together.
Persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs), such as employers, must eliminate or minimise the risk of fatigue, so far as is reasonably practicable.
Workers also have a duty to take reasonable care for their own safety and health and make sure their acts or omissions don’t adversely affect the health or safety of others.
