🌾 Fatigue can creep up during harvest
Long hours can affect concentration, reaction time and decision-making
Take regular breaks, share the workload @ make time for rest @ recovery
There's pressure to keep going when conditions are right, but getting everyone home safely matters

With harvest underway, SEPWA is calling on the WA Government to defer the new limit until these questions are resolved.
