Don't Let Fatigue Drive You Off the Lease Road

By Clover Plains Safety Team

Out here in the patch, the work is demanding. Whether you’re running a vac truck or turning wrenches, long hours and early starts can take a real toll on your alertness. We’ve all been there—the eyes feel heavy and the drive home after a twelve-hour shift feels twice as long as the drive in. Fatigue isn't just about being tired; it is a recognized hazard that slows your reaction times and clouds your judgment when you need it most. At Clover Plains, we believe the job isn't done until you are safely home with your family. If you find yourself struggling to stay focused during a task or behind the wheel, speak up. Take a tactical break, hydrate, and assess your mental readiness. There is zero shame in calling for a hand or taking ten minutes to reset. We rely on each other to keep the site running, but we rely on your health and safety even more. Check in on your partner today. If they look worn down, ask how they are holding up. Let’s look out for one another and make sure everyone leaves the lease in the same shape they arrived.

Key Safety Points

  • Recognize early signs of fatigue like wandering thoughts and heavy eyelids.
  • Practice the 'take five' rule to assess your alertness before starting tasks.
  • Communicate honestly with your supervisor if you are too tired to work.
