Fatigue Assessment

Feeling tired or drowsy following prolonged mental or physical exertion is normal. Fatigue, however is an acute, and/or ongoing state of tiredness that leads to mental and physical exhaustion preventing someone from functioning at his or her normal level.

The fatigue assessment will help to determine if an individual experiences moderate to high fatigue and/or excessive sleepiness. The Epworth and Stop Bang questionnaires generate a result as normal, moderate or high. Those identified with a high risk will be referred for recommendations to manage their fatigue, to reduce the risk of excessive fatigue and improve worksite safety.

The results are discussed with the employee and a copy of these is given to them.
A full report is provided to the employer outlining trends/referrals.
