Ensure your staff are equipped with essential strategies to effectively manage fatigue and maintain high performance in the workplace. By understanding the risk factors and the responsibilities of both employees and employers, you can ensure your organisation remains a safe and productive environment for everyone.
The short answer
Fatigue Management training is for everyone in scope in Australia and New Zealand and Global Best Practice. There is no single instrument behind it; it is treated as good practice. It runs online in about 20 to 30 minutes. Run it off the shelf as it is, or have Hungry Minds rebuild it around your own policies and scenarios.

About this course
Fatigue can pose a serious risk to health and safety within the workplace. It can lead to a loss of attentiveness, ultimately contributing to workplace mistakes and accidents.
By providing training in fatigue management, staff become more aware of the causes of fatigue, the impacts it can have in the workplace, and signs to watch out for. This helps promote compliance with occupational/work health and safety obligations surrounding fatigue management.
What the course covers
- Causes of fatigue
- Fatigue indicators
- Sleep cycles and the body clock
- Strategies and lifestyle changes
- Employer responsibilities
- Worker responsibilities
What people can do afterwards
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- understand what fatigue is and its causes
- be able to identify signs of fatigue
- understand sleep cycles and the body clock
- know what lifestyle changes are needed to manage fatigue
- understand their obligations under health and safety laws
How it is delivered
- Accelerated learning Allows learners who understand the topic to proceed quickly through the course in 20-30 minutes.
Two ways to run it
-
Your policies, your scenarios
We rebuild “Fatigue Management” around how your organisation actually works, so the training changes behaviour instead of recording completions.
Build a custom version -
Ready to run as it is
Deploy the course off the shelf, with light branding if you want it. Delivered with our partner Safetrac, who will contact you directly.
Deploy off the shelf
Either way, you can run it through our compliance platform or take it as a SCORM package for the LMS you already have.
What it costs
Off-the-shelf pricing starts at $4,000 a year for up to ten courses with your logo and colours applied, rising with how much you want changed. The tiers are the same across the catalogue, so they are set out once on the pricing page rather than repeated on all 101 courses.
If what you actually need is your own scenarios and your own policies rather than a reskin, that is a custom build, and it is the work Hungry Minds does.
Choosing an LMS
If you don’t currently have an LMS, we can help you select a platform that suits your organisation.
For smaller teams or organisations getting started, we typically recommend LearnWorlds for its ease of use and quick setup.For organisations requiring more advanced functionality and reporting, TalentLMS is a strong option.

We may receive a commission if you sign up to an LMS we recommend. It does not change what we recommend.
