WSU Plans Fatigue Risk Management Industry Day
Sunday, September 8, 2019
About Industry Day
Fatigue is inevitable in a world reliant on 24/7 operations. Fatigue cannot be completely eliminated in the modern workforce, but the risk associated with fatigue can be managed.
Join us for Fatigue Risk Management Industry Day and hear from international scientists and industry experts, including keynote speaker professor Drew Dawson from Australia, on the latest developments in the science of fatigue and how to mitigate its impact on the workplace.
WSU’s Sleep and Performance Research Center is organizing the Fatigue Risk Management Industry Day in conjunction with the Shiftwork2019 meeting held September 9-13 in Coeur d’Alene, ID. Over 150 international experts on fatigue risk management will be visiting the Inland Northwest for this Symposium, and we are gathering select experts to lead breakout sessions focused on high-priority topics for Fatigue Risk Management Industry Day.
Reasons to Attend Industry Day
- Hear scientists explain the impact of fatigue in the workplace and how to address fatigue risk
- Learn how fatigue risk management can improve safety, productivity, health, and well-being, as well as save costs
- Network with scientists, employers, representatives from shiftwork industries, and others interested in workplace fatigue issues
- Learn about potential strategies to manage fatigue and health, such as workplace napping, flexible work hours, fatigue risk management tools, managing nighttime light exposure, and use of mathematical models
