Manage episode 487118363 series 3374017
We know that sleep is essential to a healthy lifestyle, but in the construction industry, getting quality sleep can be challenging due to long work hours, shift changes, family responsibilities, and commuting. Sleep affects our mental and physical health, as well as our ability to work safely. Lack of sleep contributed to catastrophic workplace accidents like Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and the Challenger Explosion. Sleep deprivation contributes to 1 in 10 job site accidents, so it is vital to prioritize getting good quality sleep.
In this podcast, we discuss the importance of sleep, share tips on improving your sleep hygiene, and provide some tools to help your crews link sleep with safety!
