FATIGUE RISK MANAGEMENT FOR 

MANAGERS & SAFETY STAKEHOLDERS

 The next session is November 12-13, 2025
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

INSTRUCTOR:  Clinton Marquardt, Sleep & Fatigue Specialist

COURSE HIGHLIGHTS:  Everyone experiences fatigue at times, it’s a natural signal our bodies use to remind us to sleep.  But in fast-paced, safety-sensitive, or high-stakes environments, fatigue can become a hidden risk with far-reaching consequences for safety, health, and productivity.  This course empowers executives, managers, and supervisors with the knowledge and tools they need to recognize, assess, and proactively manage sleep-related fatigue in the workplace, all from a Safety Management Systems (SMS) perspective.

You’ll explore the science behind sleep and fatigue, including how circadian rhythms and sleep quality impact performance and well-being.  The course dives into the root causes of sleep-related fatigue, and influential conditions such as shift work, commuting, 9-to-5 work, and stress, and teaches practical strategies for both personal and organizational sleep and fatigue management.  Discover how to build a robust sleep and fatigue management approach that not only meets regulatory standards but also goes beyond compliance by embracing the latest best practices in sleep and fatigue science.

Key Topics Covered Include:

• Understanding the fundamentals of sleep and fatigue science
• Identifying the 6 risk factors for fatigue
• Exploring the impact of shift patterns, commuting, and travel across time zones
• Personal and organizational strategies for sleep and fatigue management, including napping strategies, lifestyle, and stress management techniques
• Creating a positive sleep and fatigue culture that supports health, safety, and peak performance
• Pro tips and actionable insights for effective sleep and fatigue management

By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to implement practical solutions, foster a healthier workforce, and help your organization thrive, even in the most demanding 24/7 environments.
