Fatigue & long days

Long calls, overnight work and the journey home.

Include prep, wrap and the drive home when raising a concern about a long day. Being paid overtime does not tell you whether the schedule leaves enough time to rest.

Read Saskatchewan’s scheduling and rest guidance, then check the turnaround terms in your production agreement. These can be different requirements.

Questions before work starts

  • Who should you tell when you are too tired to work or drive safely?
  • Can production arrange transport or accommodation?
  • How much rest is available between finishing all required work and the next call?

Your supervisor or qualified specialist still needs to assess the task and explain the procedure.
