Make sure there is good lighting for evening and night shifts which won't have the benefit of natural daylight. Ventilation should provide a steady supply of fresh air, and temperature should be comfortable. Insist workers take their scheduled breaks so they can get away from their work stations, rest and eat. Have the lunchroom vending machines stocked with selections more healthful than the usual coffee, sodas and candy bars. Fresh fruit, vegetables, low salt crackers, sandwiches and juices are better choices to maintain good health and energy.
Schedule work to avoid boredom which can add to fatigue.
