Buzzard Fatigue Management
---Harvey Mackay---
"Fatigue makes fools of us all. It robs us of our skills, our judgement, and blinds us to creative solutions."
Why is Fatigue Management Important?
Acute Fatigue can cause:
- Irritability
- Inability to focus
- increased reaction times
- Increased errors and omissions
- Increased risk taking
Chronic fatigue can contribute to many long term conditions including:
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Stroke
- Alzheimers
Sleep-deprived workers are costing the UK economy £40bn a year and face a higher risk of death*

Fatigue Risk Management Systems for Business
The world of business is changing. Numerous studies have shown that long working hours not only harm workers' health, they are also bad for productivity. More and more UK businesses are adopting a 4-day week, and the pandemic has given rise to more home working and flexible hours. Whatever your business model, a fatigue risk management system (FRMS) can help to keep workers safe and minimise risk to a business. We will work with you to understand your business, your employees and your workpatterns, to develop a bespoke FRMS that best suits your business.

We can deliver workshops tailored to managers, employees, or all staff, which explore the causes of fatigue, and the associated risks, both to the individual and to the organisation. We provide advice on how to identify fatigue and potentially harmful practices, as well as offering practical solutions for the monitoring, management and avoidance of fatigue.
Individual Advice and Support
We can offer strategies for individuals to manage workload, minimise stress and maximise quality of sleep. This can increase productivity, improve mental well-being and promote better physical health.
