Welcome to Risk Mentor Fatigue Management
Business Input - Identify and manage repetitive and demanding tasks by role
Expectation
Tasks are characterised by the load they place on workers. This covers both mental (concentration) and physical (strength) requirements – so that appropriate work/rest regimes can be implemented in rosters
Specification
Requirements:
- Tasks are analysed for the load they will place on worker(s) conducting them
- Considerations are given to ergonomic guidance and other factors in order to characterise the task as high, medium or low load
- Higher load tasks should preferentially be planned to be conducted on the day shift, or if required to be performed at night, then with appropriate additional resources (supervision and workers) and breaks required
Implementation
- Superintendents and planners identify repetitive and or sustained physically and mentally demanding tasks by role
- Where possible – a redesign of jobs to limit periods of excessive mental or physical demands through job rotation and regular breaks
Monitoring
- Training records are reviewed and included in training needs analyses
- Supervisor reports on shift deployments are reviewed by more senior personnel on site
