‍Fatigue impacts more than just energy levels—it can directly affect workplace safety, performance, and overall productivity. It’s important to understand that fatigue isn’t simply feeling tired; it’s an ongoing state of mental or physical exhaustion that hinders people from functioning effectively. In any industry, from construction to manufacturing, fatigue can increase the risk of accidents and long-term health issues.
