Making errors at work due to sleepiness or sleep problems is not limited to shift working populations: Results of the 2016 Sleep Health Foundation survey

Objectives/Introduction: As many as 30% of Australians report making errors at work as a consequence of sleepiness or general sleep issues. While fatigue risk management systems are intended to reduce the risk of errors and accidents at work as a consequence of work‐related fatigue, such systems are typically implemented in workplaces with shift working operations.

Our aim was to determine the relationship between sleep duration and disorders, sleep health and hygiene factors, work related factors and errors at work in Australian workers
