The Fighting Fatigue in the Workplace course is an interactive online training program that discusses the causes of fatigue, the hazards that it creates, and what employees can do to avoid it.

Tired people make mistakes. Workplace fatigue can significantly increase the likelihood of employees being hurt, even killed, on the job. It also reduces productivity and increases expenses. Each year, fatigue costs U.S. businesses more than $130 billion dollars. But it can be prevented.

Areas covered in the course include what fatigue is and what causes it, the hazards of fatigue, reducing fatigue in the workplace, how sleep hygiene can help, the role of healthy diet and exercise, and more. The course uses a combination of audio, full-motion video, text, and colorful graphics and is divided into logical sections so information is easily understood and retained. The course is 100% online and accessible on desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones.
