The Excessive Overtime Toolbox Talk from Health & Safety Zone offers essential guidance on recognising and mitigating fatigue caused by long working hours. Suitable for all industries, this toolbox talk helps workers understand how to manage overtime safely in compliance with UK regulations.
Why Is Excessive Overtime Important?
Protects Workers: Reduces fatigue‑related accidents and supports mental health.
Improves Productivity: Well‑rested staff are more alert, make fewer errors, and maintain higher output.
