When identifying fatigue risk, consider work hours and shift design (long hours and double shifts, excessive overtime, on-call work, night work, regular sleepovers or disturbed sleep, backward rotating shifts, insufficient or tight breaks, long travel times that reduce sleep); tasks, equipment and environments (physically demanding work, distressing or traumatic situations, emotional support, vicarious trauma, concentration-critical tasks such as surgery, a culture that does not support reporting fatigue, other psychosocial hazards, repetitive or loud noise); and individual work and non-work factors (time since last sleep, limited experience, domestic or caring responsibilities, barriers to understanding or raising WHS issues such as power imbalance or fear of the effect on registration, and multiple jobs). Fatigue risk is greatest where workers do hazardous work such as driving, handling cytotoxic drugs, working with biological hazards, surgery, administering medication, hazardous manual tasks or operating equipment, where controls for harmful behaviours are insufficient and where systems to prevent fatigue-related errors are inadequate, such as relying on memory for patient information, manual dose calculations with no checks, unlabelled critical switches or missing PPE.
