To assist Saskatchewan employers in establishing a baseline with which to evaluate their internal risk of fatigue, the Saskatchewan Safety Council has commissioned the Saskatchewan Employee Fatigue and Lifestyle Study, which, via this online survey, seeks to illuminate personal fatigue related risk factors and their consequences, based on current sleep, work, and lifestyle factors. Made possible thanks to the support of WorkSafe Saskatchewan, the study will also provide insight into the level of current knowledge regarding sleep and fatigue science across a cross section of Saskatchewan employers and industries. Study results will be released as part of the 53rd Saskatchewan Safety Seminar in February 2026. The anonymized data collected from the survey will assist in the validation of key issues of concern and inform the direction of essential education and training to support the employee while also supporting the nature of work structures in place (e.g., work schedules, fit for duty policies, etc.). Furthermore, the survey data will provide baseline metrics that add to the understanding of how significant fatigue’s presence is at an employers site (including levels of acute fatigue vs chronic fatigue) compared to Saskatchewan and industry averages. These will provide guidance in the development or refinement of work/rest opportunities, as well as operational and health and safety policies and procedures to reduce fatigue-related risk. This includes adopting fatigue hazard identification and risk analysis procedures of existing work activities, understanding training requirements for managers and supervisors, and guidance on how to manage fatigue’s presence at the worksite, to ensure safe continuance of work and a safe commute home after work. Complete the survey. - No personal data is collected.
