The hazard
A tired worker reacts slower, misses hazards and makes more mistakes, often without noticing. Fatigue builds up from long shifts, night work, heat, hard physical work, stress and too many short nights in a row. Around equipment, heights or traffic, one slow reaction can be enough to get someone hurt.
The action
Drowsy driving after a long shift is a serious danger. If you are fighting to stay awake, get a ride or rest before you drive. If it hits while you are on the road, pull over somewhere safe. Carpool when you can, and check on coworkers who have a long drive after a double shift.
