According to the Scheme, worker fatigue is often an overlooked hazard in the construction industry. This is despite the fact that fatigue is a serious health and safety risk in construction; fatigue has the potential to significantly impair physical and cognitive capacities, as well as having a damaging effect on the mental health of our workforce.

The inability to respond and react promptly can be highly detrimental across any type of construction activity - leading to errors, near misses, injuries and even death.

The Scheme is inviting everyone working across the entire industry to complete a short survey.

The survey closes on August 9 and results will be used to help inform the Scheme’s ‘Spotlight on… worker fatigue’ national campaign, due to published in the Autumn.
