Worker Fatigue

We often make light of how little sleep we get on a regular basis. The over-worked / over-tired condition has unfortunately become the norm for many of us. Those employees who work shift-work are particularly susceptible. The affects of fatigue can have an adverse impact on all areas of our lives. Please do what you can to ensure you are getting the proper amount of rest each day.
