Tired Minds, Higher Risks: Mastering Fatigue Management, With Dan Wakerley

Tired Minds, Higher Risks: Mastering Fatigue Management, With Dan Wakerley

Fatigue hides in plain sight. It silently chips away at judgement, coordination, reaction time and even emotional stability, long before someone reaches the point of nodding off. Yet many workplaces still treat tiredness as nothing more than part of the job. In this conversation with Dan Wakerley, founder of Pillar, we lift the lid on the true impact of fatigue, why it's entirely predictable, and how using real-time readiness data can transform safety, performance and well-being. If you want to prevent incidents rather than explain them, this is a must-listen.

Highlights

  • Fatigue as impairment: how being awake 18 hours can mirror alcohol-level degradation: real risk
  • Cultural barriers: the "hard man" mindset and why it holds organisations back: perspective shift
  • Predictability of fatigue: roster design, circadian insights and readiness checks: practical tools
  • Daily risk control: adjusting tasks, not just stopping work, based on real-time data: smarter decisions
  • Tech that helps: what readiness actually measures and why sleep hours alone mislead: clearer insights
  • Cross-functional ownership: why CEOs, safety, HR and operations must align: integrated approach
  • Economic upside: error reduction, productivity gains and safer outcomes: business case
  • Immediate actions: start measuring fatigue in a small pilot and build from there: first steps
