Minor changes in memory and information processing

Potential impact at work:

• Processing information may take a little longer.
• Limited impact, as experience and skills usually provide a compensatory effect.

Addressing the changes through safety and health management:

• Provide training opportunities and promote skills development throughout the working career for all ages. 
• Ensure stimulating work environment/tasks.
• Avoid work underload and overload. 
• Reduce multi-tasking, if necessary.  
• Increase time between steps of a task. 
• Increase the available time for decision-making.
