Abstract
Given the need for 24/7 healthcare services, fatigue is an inevitable consequence of work in this industry. A significant body of regulatory advice and hospital services have focused primarily on restricting work hours as the primary method of mitigating fatigue-related risk. Given the inevitability of fatigue, and the limited capacity of labour agreements to control risk, this commentary explores how the principles of fatigue risk management might be applied in a healthcare setting.
