Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery Scale/Evidence
Method evidence record

Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery Scale

The Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery Scale (OFER) measures worker fatigue across three dimensions: acute fatigue (tiredness after the current work period), chronic fatigue (accumulated exhaustion over weeks or months), and inter-shift recovery (ability to recuperate between work shifts). Developed by Winwood and colleagues, the OFER distinguishes between short-term fatigue (recoverable) and long-term exhaustion (requiring intervention), making it essential for identifying workers at risk of injury, burnout, and occupational health decline in high-demand roles.
