Abstract Physical workload and daytime exposure to environmental factors can disturb sleep the subsequent night. This induces impairment of the body recovery processes following a physical or a mental task, and could have a negative effect on safety at work. The present paper recommends what is to be done in order to protect or improve the sleep of workers. These recommendations deal with the protection of workers' health against physical hazards at the workplace (mainly heat and noise), and work organisation.
