The London Branch of SaRS is delighted to announce a joint collaboration webinar between SaRS and the International Ergonomics Association (IEA) Maritime & Ergonomics Technical Committee examining the fatigue risks in healthcare and the maritime industry.
Fatigue is an insidious risk in all industries, one that is often misunderstood, undiagnosed and unregulated and is arguably the biggest performance shaping factor that affects safety and reliability in most industries, particularly those with time and commercial pressures allied to constraints on team resources. In this webinar the risks of fatigue will be explained, the challenges of managing these risks in healthcare and maritime and potential mitigating strategies will be unpacked. Healthcare and maritime, despite challenging work patterns, are often neglected sectors when talking about fatigue risks and share some common issues in the underpinning contribution of fatigue to safety.
This webinar will support safety professionals to understand fatigue risk in more depth, providing more information on the systemic and practical contributors, and provide insight into how fatigue risks can be pragmatically managed. It will also draw from the experience of other industries, specifically rail, who have systematically embedded fatigue management over the last 3 decades.
The webinar will be applicable to a wide range of safety professionals including, managers, operators, members of safety departments, analysts, auditors, investigators, etc.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a major, yet largely preventable, burden across all countries—contributing infection in 7% of hospital patients in high income settings, and 15% in Low and Middle-Income Countries thereby imposing significant costs on health systems and society.
Environmental cleaning is a critical component of infection prevention and control strategies. However, it is often overlooked in terms of staffing, funding, and research investment. Over the past five years, a coalition of leading organizations—including WHO, ICAN, WaterAid, UK-PHRST, and LSHTM—has worked to raise awareness of this missed opportunity to reduce infection transmission. 
Join this event on 11 December, where speakers will highlight the collaborative efforts to strengthen the evidence base for environmental cleaning in healthcare settings. The event will mark the publication in Lancet Microbe of findings from a recent cluster randomized trial conducted in Cambodia which evaluates the effectiveness of the WHO training package on environmental cleaning. The programme will feature presentations, a panel discussion, and a Q&A session, followed by a networking reception.
