Fatigue can affect safety in the workplace. It reduces alertness which may increase the risk of errors, accidents or injuries.

In 2023, 200 people were fatally injured at work in Australia. Today marks the start of National Safe Work Month. This annual event encourages organisations and employees to engage in activities and initiatives that promote a safer working environment. Recent statistics from Safe Work Australia highlight the current state of workplace health and safety. There were 139,000 serious workers’ compensation claims between 2022 and 2023 - mental health conditions accounted for 10.5% of these claims. This is a 19.2% increase compared to the previous year. This year's theme, "Safety is Everyone's Business," serves as a powerful reminder that creating a safe workplace is a collective responsibility. It emphasises that every individual within an organisation plays a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing health and safety standards.
