APEX Shift Work and Fatigue Management | Corporate Training Programme with Certificate, Facilitator Pack and Team Licence

Rested teams. Safer shifts.

Around 3.35 million people in the UK usually work at night, and millions more work early starts, long shifts and rotating rotas. Fatigue is one of the most predictable and preventable risks in any 24/7 operation. Research cited in HSE's shift work guidance found incident risk is about 30% higher on night shifts than mornings, about 36% higher on a fourth consecutive night, and higher still on 12 hour shifts. After 17 hours awake, performance on some tasks is impaired to a similar degree as a blood alcohol level of 0.05%.

APEX Shift Work and Fatigue Management is a complete, ready to deliver training programme for HR, health and safety, operations and L&D teams. It equips managers and rota planners to meet working time rules, assess fatigue risk and design safer shifts, and gives shift workers practical strategies to sleep, eat, travel and recover well.
