Health and safety professionals across industry verticals have recognised the importance of tackling health issues and not just concentrating on safety. In numerous conversations with workers across industries several clear industry trends have been found. These include -:

• Insufficient and poor-quality sleep.
• Long commutes and long working days, which induce fatigue and don’t allow sufficient time to achieve adequate sleep.
• The transient workforce makes poor lifestyle choices away from home and do not prioritise rest when back at home.

As a result, we commonly see issues including: poor health; increased levels of stress and declining mental health; impaired decision making; driver fatigue – including accidents and near misses whilst commuting; strained personal and professional relationships; impaired cognitive performance and executive functioning; reduced co-ordination; high levels of driver fatigue as well as poor communications.
