Driver fatigue can often be an overlooked risk in fleet management. 

Fatigued drivers are not only a danger to themselves, but also to other road users.

Driving when drowsy can impair decision making and slow-down reaction times, and as a result can increase the chances of an accident occurring.

As a fleet manager, you can help by educating your drivers about fatigue, so they understand how important it is for road safety.  

You can also help, at company level, to ensure that shift patterns and organisational pressures don’t negatively affect the opportunities for a driver to get a good night’s sleep, such as by avoiding back-to-back shifts.
