Recognize Fatigue

A large part of Fatigue is Drowsiness, which is the last step before falling asleep…not the first. Drowsiness means you are seconds away from falling asleep; you must put forth a conscious effort to remain focused and stay awake. At one moment you are aware of the fatigue and in a split second you are sound asleep, completely unaware of what your vehicle is doing. This is an incredibly dangerous situation! Fatigue can be responsible for all different kinds of accidents…from hitting a yellow pole in a parking lot to a rollover accident due to falling asleep and leaving the roadway! 

In this video we are asking our drivers how they recognize fatigue and how they deal with fatigue in order to remain a safe driver while on the road.

To watch this video and more have a look at our YouTube channel or the Employee Video library found here on our website (login required).
