Managing fatigue in construction: Protecting workers and projects

Infrastructure is identified as the sector with the strongest growth outlook in the latest RICS UK Construction Monitor, with energy and water projects showing particularly strong momentum. But growth comes with risk. With labour shortages still affecting 39% of businesses, fewer hands mean greater pressure on existing workers, which can lead to fatigue, slower reactions, poor judgment, and increased mistakes—putting workers and projects at risk.

Why fatigue matters

Worker fatigue isn’t just about tiredness; it’s a critical safety and compliance issue. Overworked teams are more likely to suffer accidents, make errors, and reduce productivity. According to the National Safety Council, 13% of workplace injuries across all industries are caused by fatigue. In a high-stakes environment like infrastructure, this can mean delays, spiralling costs, and reputational damage. 

MSite’s fatigue management solution 

MSite’s workforce management software enables contractors to monitor fatigue levels across site teams throughout a project, giving peace of mind that operatives are well rested, alert, and safe, ensuring managers can act before risks escalate. 

Key features include: 

  • Real time monitoring flagging workers before they breach fatigue thresholds 
  • Early intervention identifying tired workers mid-shift, not just at the end of the day 
  • Health & Safety compliance supporting regulations such as ROGS with digital audit trails 

By putting safety and compliance first, MSite helps prevent accidents before they happen and supports a genuine safety-first culture on site. 

Keeping projects on track 

Fatigue doesn’t just risk safety, it slows projects down. Tired workers impact productivity, delaying progress and inflating costs. MSite provides: 

  • In-depth insights into hours worked, rest days, and even commute times 
  • Automated reporting formatted in the HSE Fatigue Risk Calculator, removing the need for manual checks 
  • Productivity protection, ensuring site teams can maintain momentum and deliver projects on time 

Contractors using MSite gain both operational efficiency and the reassurance that their workforce is protected from fatigue-related risks.
