Sleeping Well to Work Safely

Ignoring the signs of sleepiness can have a significant negative impact on the health and safety of your colleagues.

This highly acclaimed course, developed by Sleep Unlimited and approved by IOSH, presents case examples from a range of people who’ve experienced disturbed sleep as a result of work-related stress, shift working, working in safety-critical environments and jet lag.

Learn how to recognise the signs of lack of sleep and what to do about it, with effective, evidence-based methods.

Ensure that those around you are working at their best – and that they are safer, happier and healthier.
