Examining the health and well-being of Fly-in Fly-out workers and their partners: a multi-method approach

Abstract

The Research employed multi-method designs to examine the health and associated work productivity loss cost in FIFO workers and their partners in Australia. This work demonstrates that psychological distress, alcohol intake, sleep problems and overweight/obesity are recurrent and ongoing concerns among many FIFO workers and their partners, and their important impact on productivity loss, and provides evidence of important daily variability in potentially modifiable aspects of FIFO work that could be targeted in future interventions
