FAQs
Workplace fatigue refers to a state of physical or mental exhaustion resulting from prolonged or excessive work, inadequate rest, or poor sleep. It can impact an individual's performance, safety, and overall well-being.
Some jurisdictions have specific regulations and guidelines related to fatigue management, particularly in industries such as transportation, healthcare, and manufacturing. It's important to consult local labour laws and industry-specific regulations to ensure compliance.
While individuals can take steps to manage their own fatigue, effective fatigue management typically requires support and commitment from the organisation.

How do we do this?
Users complete a 60-90 second game-like test at the start of each shift or before undertaking a high-risk activity. The system develops a personal, rolling baseline that learns each person’s behaviour patterns, and average performance, and adjusts as they improve with practice.
If a user receives a score outside their baseline parameters, they are prompted to retake the test. If their score doesn’t improve, their manager is notified to check-in with them and see if they are safe to work.
Our goal is to provide you with the ability to highlight at-risk workers, start a conversation and care for your employees.
Actual results from our Solution:
- 32% reduction in incident frequency
- 40% reduction in total recordable incidents
- 53% sustained reduction in annual claims costs
