Survey launched to explore worker fatigue in construction

According to the Scheme, worker fatigue is often an overlooked hazard in the construction industry. This is despite the fact that fatigue is a serious health and safety risk in construction; fatigue has the potential to significantly impair physical and cognitive capacities, as well as having a damaging effect on the mental health of our workforce.

The inability to respond and react promptly can be highly detrimental across any type of construction activity - leading to errors, near misses, injuries and even death.



The Scheme is inviting everyone working across the entire industry to complete a short survey.

The survey closes on August 9 and results will be used to help inform the Scheme’s ‘Spotlight on… worker fatigue’ national campaign, due to published in the Autumn.
