FatigueManagementPackage:
A Cost Effective Intervention for Shiftworkers:
Shift-workers require specialized training and their needs in coping with the demands that shift work entails are not to be underestimated. Every aspect of a shift-workers life (Home, Social and Work) has the potential to be negatively affected due to fatigue and sleep related problems. This package is designed to offer a direct and effective approach to better manage the rigours of working shifts, or regularly working long hours.
