Managing Fatigue and Health Outcomes

December 8, 2018

Workplace fatigue is a familiar and ongoing challenge for those in 24-hour industries. However, the rise of technology and the ability to work from almost anywhere has led to an increase in fatigue-related incidents across a number of sectors. Combined with the resource and funding cuts, the growing challenges with around fatigue risk management are only growing whilst decreasing productivity. Furthermore, there is new legislation directly around fatigue in aviation and transport and an expansion to the model WHS act to account for risk to psychological health. The ongoing health outcomes for fatigued workers are also being understood, which could transform legislations around shift work.

The Managing Fatigue & Health Outcomes conference brings together leaders from a variety of sectors, regulators and solutions providers to discuss and develop strategies that you can implement in your organisation to improve fatigue management, including sessions from internationally recognised Australian leaders in fatigue management Professor Drew Dawson & Adjunct Professor Adam Fletcher. Gain knowledge with takeaways from cross-sector presentations and case studies on how to address regulations, efficiently and effectively manage schedules, reduce fatigue and improve the ongoing health of the workforce.

26-27th February 2019, Novotel Sydney Central

Christmas Stress Less Tips

December 4, 2015

Christmas is coming which means joy for some and stress for others!  It is promoted as the season of goodwill and being kind unto others (including ourselves), but for many people it can be a busy and sometimes difficult and stressful period.  It can also be a time where we forget to slow down and do the things we enjoy and make us feel good, which is important to maintain our positive mental health and wellbeing.

Avoiding stress and stressful situations isn’t a realistic solution but focusing on what we can control and how we choose to respond to these situations is something we can do.

WayAhead – Mental Health Association NSW has created a list of really useful tips you can download that you can use as a checklist to get you through the pre and post Christmas holiday period with a smile.

There are also some useful tips from Superfriend about how to look after your mental health at Christmas too.

The Workplace Health Promotion Network (WHPN) would like to thank our members and supporters for all their energy, ideas and support in 2015.  Also to those that may have visited our website, seen us present or received our WHPN eNews this year – we hope you decide to meet us in person at one of our meetings in 2016.

We wish for you a happy, healthy and relaxing Christmas holiday period.
