• Damage to the individual’s health (both physical and mental)
• Cause of accidents through lack of concentration, reduced reaction time and impaired judgement
• Increased absence from work
• Reduced productivity through lack of concentration and impaired judgement
• Negative affect on co-workers
• Puts business, public and assets at risk
