Long hours away from home. Working when others are enjoying holidays. A global pandemic. It’s not surprising that so many of us feel fatigued. This session is all about our commitment to finding solutions.

Sluggish, rubbish, and lethargic. We all know the feeling of a bad night’s sleep. Hope’s session is an introduction to the science of sleep and the very best techniques for improving the quality of your shuteye and drifting off into a deep slumber.

Our bright-eyed and bushy-tailed RWA Fatigue Coordination Group have been creating a step-change in how fatigue risk is managed. This session covers what’s already being done and what’s happening in the next year. Olly Glover tells us his sobering story about fatigue.

Using drink and drugs to cope with life could happen to any of us. We’re only human. Hear from someone who’s been through it and discovered that work and recovery can go hand in hand. The session also covers revisions to the rail industry standard for testing safety critical workers for drugs and alcohol.

Working nights or odd hours can confuse your body clock, and it’s much harder to sleep during the daytime. But thankfully there are practical steps you can take to help manage your sleep and stay alert while on duty.
