Welcome to Risk Mentor Fatigue Management

Business Input - Fatigue management during emergency and crisis management

Work hours are managed when responding to emergencies

Requirements:

Emergency response plans include a consideration of any additional work time that responders may be required to perform
Ergonomics of various types of rescue are considered and an appropriate time for maximum deployment developed, this will include:
– Reduced time for responders facing heat, requirement to wear BA, etc
– Consideration of cognitive load by responders and rescue coordinators (with options for rotation/relief)
– Provision of on-site resources for fatigue relief (nap rooms, break-out locations etc.)
– Identified resources are provided for in site Emergency Response Management Plans

Emergency responders are trained in requirements that include controlling fatigue during a response
Larger drills include a debrief component that assesses fatigue and other stressors on the people and plant deployed
Rescue coordinators are provided support and relief as appropriate to manage fatigue of decision makers as well as responders

Reports on emergency responses (actual and drills/exercises) are reviewed by senior management to confirm adequate resources are being deployed and will remain available
Audits of the emergency response capacity on site include an assessment of preparedness to mount a response without over-taxing site workers and plant. Recommendations/actions arising from these audits are provided to senior management for inclusion in site planning/budgeting works
