Errors & Accidents

24/7 operations present special safety challenges and risks of employee inattention are increased.

• Fatigued Employees – The cumulative effect of night work and extended hours can lead to fatigue-impaired employees unless proactive steps are taken to reduce the risk.
• Night Shift Errors – People are most likely to make mistakes and cause production errors in the pre-dawn “window of Circadian low”. Errors of inattention can be costly or even deadly.
• Accident Litigation – The work hours and sometimes extended time without sleep create a vulnerability to lawsuits and punitive damages when accidents occur.
