First responders and other public safety personnel (PSP) are at a uniquely high risk for fatigue, which can have serious impacts on physical and mental health and contribute to occupational stress and burnout. Evidence suggests that fatigue among PSP is associated with a range of adverse outcomes, including injury and job performance deficits, longer-term health issues like musculoskeletal disorders and cardiovascular disease, and mental health and wellness challenges such as anxiety, depression, and job dissatisfaction.
In this session, you will learn about:
- The heightened risk of fatigue among PSP and its impact on physical and mental health;
- The development of a national occupational standard for fatigue management among PSP; and,
- The ways formal workplace policies and practices can help mitigate fatigue-related risks and support PSP wellbeing.
