Fatigued Employees

Studies have clearly linked fatigue to increases in human error, accidents, injuries and poor performance. In fact, one study found that fatigued workers cost U.S. employers more than $136 billion per year in lost productivity. In addition, several studies have confirmed that fatigue impairment can produce a similar impairment as alcohol in terms of logical reasoning, concentration, information processing, judgment, hand-eye coordination, and reaction times. Quite simply, as people perform without sufficient rest, the likelihood of errors and accidents increases.
