Worker Fatigue Theory

Worker Fatigue Theory suggests that fatigue, resulting from prolonged work, can impair a worker’s physical and mental performance, increasing the likelihood of errors and accidents. As fatigue builds, attention, decision-making, and coordination decrease, reducing overall efficiency and safety. The theory emphasizes the importance of managing work hours, rest breaks, and workload to prevent fatigue-related issues. It recognizes fatigue as a significant factor influencing productivity and safety, highlighting the need for appropriate work schedules and recovery time to maintain optimal worker performance and well-being.
