Welcome to Risk Mentor Fatigue Management
Business Input - Identify and manage excessive mentally demanding tasks by role
Expectation
Equipment selection, task design and short term planning (allocation of workers to and supervision levels for tasks) will minimise the potential for fatigue related incidents occurring
Specification
Requirements:
- Jobs that are found to pose a high cognitive/fatigue load are redesigned to limit periods of excessive mental demands or included in job rotation processes and regular breaks
- Worker training includes identifying strategies for minimising fatigue (and other errors) through the use of job rotation and breaks
- On the job questionnaires and forms are completed by workers in line with site requirements
Implementation
- Jobs that are found to pose a high cognitive/fatigue load are redesigned to limit periods of excessive mental demands or included in job rotation processes and regular breaks
- Worker training includes identifying strategies for minimising fatigue (and other errors) through the use of job rotation and breaks
- On the job questionnaires and forms are completed by workers in line with site requirements
Monitoring
- Workers apply appropriate self assessment of their level of fatigue (alerting a supervisor as required).
- Functional groups in the organisation review the output of other processes (completed questionnaires, behavioural observations, monitoring of noise, vibration etc.) and provide an assessment of task/work station demand levels to superintendents and managers
