Workers need to be mentally and physically alert at work. Things like fatigue, drug and alcohol use, distractions, noise, health conditions, and psychosocial stress can impact on a worker’s ability to do their job safely.
Impairment from fatigue, drug and alcohol use should be identified as a risk under your health and safety management plan, and you should have an effective policy place to identify and deal with risks that may arise from impairment.
We have fact sheets for awareness about the risks of impairment from fatigue, drugs and alcohol. The guidance is intended to sit alongside your relevant health and safety plan and policies.
