Understanding Fatigue: A Practical Guide for Employers and Workers (National Safe Work Month NT)

Event description

Fatigue is more than just feeling tired—it can significantly impact health, safety, wellbeing, and workplace performance. Join internationally recognised sleep and fatigue expert Professor Drew Dawson for an engaging seminar designed for both employers and workers across all industries.

Drawing on decades of research and real-world experience, Professor Dawson will explore fatigue from both an individual and organisational perspective, outlining practical strategies to recognise, prevent, and manage fatigue in the workplace. The session will also examine the potential long-term health consequences of prolonged, unmanaged fatigue and why addressing fatigue is essential for creating safer, healthier, and more productive workplaces.

Professor Dawson is a globally respected authority in sleep and fatigue research, organisational psychology, and the human implications of working hours. He has worked extensively with organisations across the aviation, manufacturing, retail, entertainment, transport, and mining sectors, helping to develop fatigue management programs, shiftwork policies, and workplace education initiatives. His expertise is regularly sought at national and international conferences, and he has provided expert witness testimony in numerous fatigue-related legal proceedings.

This seminar includes a dedicated Q&A, giving participants the opportunity to gain practical insights and ask questions relevant to their own workplace experiences.
