Welcome to Risk Mentor Fatigue Management
Business Input - Health and wellbeing support
Expectation
Health support and training information on lifestyle choices and sleep hygiene that support healthy work is offered to employees
Specification
Requirements:
Training packages that are regularly updated in line with leading practice information are prepared and made available to site workers. These packages cover:
- Diet
- Exercise
- Setting up their sleep environment (particularly important for night shift workers)
- Site requirements around reporting their fatigue status, nap rooms, etc
- Sleep amounts needed for health (including highlighting managing both work and off-site obligations)
- Workers, particularly those engaged in high consequence tasks (such as operating heavy vehicles or other high energy equipment), undertake the training and demonstrate a commitment to delivering on these requirements
- Workers participate in questionnaires and lifestyle characterisation tasks to help them identify their optimum lifestyle choices to limit fatigue/health impacts
Implementation
- Trained workers adopt health choices which support them presenting well rested and fit for work
- Where this is not the case, they inform their Supervisor of concerns to minimise the chance of an unwanted incident due to fatigue or distrction
- Supervisors gain an understanding of their workers circadian preference (morning or night) and use this as an input to their allocation of workers to tsks
Monitoring
- Supervisors and Health & Safety professionals confirm workers understanding of better healthy lifestyle choices
- Records are created of worker self and/or supervisor completed questionnaires on fatigue level (which are escalated as required to prevent an inattentive worker being deployed into a potentially hazardous task)
