Vital Living Skills for Shiftworkers
INREASE PERFORMANCE – IMPROVE HEALTH – IMPROVE SAFETY – IMPROVE QUALITY OF LIFE
Productivity, safety and health are compromised by fatigue. Shiftworkers experience more fatigue than the rest of the population due to the accumulative affects of sleep debt and working when they are supposed to be sleeping.
This workshop is packed with vital information about sleep strategies, staying awake at night and maintaining a balanced lifestyle.
Workshops involve a great deal of employee participation, they are fun and informative. They include information and a video developed for shiftworkers by The Centre for Sleep Research, University of South Australia and a scientific evaluation of your present or proposed roster.

Testimonials
Our staff found this workshop enlightening and informative – staff are more aware of the issues and they are aware of the adjustments needed to make as a consequence of the shiftwork life-style. I have no doubt that a less fatigued work force will be safer and more productive. Jo Anna Partridge - Winemaker Pernod Ricard New Zealand
