Research illustrates that fatigue is one of the most dangerous and expensive afflictions among workers, opening the door to accidents that lead to injuries, fatalities, and high costs for employers.
● Staying awake for 17 hours is functionally equivalent to a blood alcohol level of 0.05, and it only takes three more hours to surpass the legal BAC for driving.
● Workers who sleep for less than five hours per night are injured at a rate almost double that of employees who sleep for more than five hours per night.
● Productivity losses due to fatigue amount to about $2,000 in costs per worker annually.
