Fatiga y Somnolencia en el trabajo mediante una dinámica

This activity can be used for a talk, campaign, program, activation, or training session on Fatigue and Drowsiness at Work. This activity helps workers understand the importance of getting enough sleep. 1. Consequences of sleeping/resting well versus poorly. The two questions to pose are: a) “When I sleep well, the next day…” b) “When I sleep poorly, the next day…” 1. Consequences of sleeping/resting well versus poorly. The two questions to pose are: a) “When I sleep well, the next day…” b) “When I sleep poorly, the next day…” We would conclude this activity by creating a “Pillow Decalogue” together. Due to the relationship between fatigue and drowsiness and the occurrence of workplace accidents, and given that vehicle accidents are the second leading cause of death in the mining sector; In addition to their impact on well-being, safety, and individual and business productivity, organizations with shift work systems need to develop programs to prevent health problems caused by fatigue and drowsiness among workers and other stakeholders. What does fatigue mean? The inability to perform tasks requiring concentration due to prolonged exposure to a physical or mental workload that hinders the performance of routine tasks. What does drowsiness mean? The tendency to fall asleep, also known as the propensity to sleep or the ability to transition from wakefulness to sleep. Excessive daytime sleepiness or hypersomnia occurs when an individual should be awake and is associated with factors such as insufficient sleep, among others. What does shift work mean? A method of organizing work in which employees take turns in the same job position according to a predetermined pattern, including a rotating pattern, which can be continuous or discontinuous, implying the need for employees to work at different times during a specific period of days or weeks. What to consider for managing fatigue and sleepiness? 1. Define the at-risk population. 2. Scales, indices, or questionnaires: • Epworth Sleepiness Scale. • Yoshitake Fatigue Symptom Questionnaire. • Berlin Questionnaire. • Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. • Use of technology: • Actigraphy: Refers to the monitoring of movements through a sensor. Considered useful for studying sleep patterns. • Technology for monitoring fatigue and sleepiness, such as facial recognition, among others. The following graphic shows a fatigue sensor: 4. Implement optimal conditions to ensure adequate sleep quality: • Infrastructure. • Ambient noise. • Ambient temperature. • Nutrition. 5. Specific training, etc. If you want to learn how to create your own activities, we have a book and a course where we teach you our methodology.
