Some words about our company

Fatigue is increasingly recognized as a major hazard in our lives, whether we are at work or when doing things such as driving. For Employees who have to work at night, the normal demands of a busy life are made worse by the difficulty of sleeping during the day. The other problem shift workers face is the difficulty in staying awake while working at night. Sleep is vital for good health.

Fatigue is the loss of performance. Poor sleep and fatigue can lead to a loss of enjoyment of life and can contribute to many serious medical conditions such as diabetes and obesity. The main cause of fatigue is:

•   too little or poor quality sleep
•   working at times you would normally be asleep
