Module Six: Faid®Safe - Management Training & Education

The lessons learned from industry-based collaborations suggest that responsible fatigue risk management requires fatigue to be managed as an Occupational Health and Safety issue rather than an industrial issue.

Moreover, fatigue risk management should be viewed as a shared responsibility:

  • Employers have a duty-of–care to provide safe work schedules that permit an adequate amount of time for an employee to sleep, rest and recover as well as fulfil their social and domestic responsibilities.
  • Conversely, employees have a duty-of-care to use their time away from work in a safe and responsible manner. That is, to ensure that they obtain sufficient sleep and recovery in order to complete their work duties in a safe and responsible manner.

This module is a three hour training and education program, designed to be delivered to all managers involved in the organisation's business. Particular attention is placed on developing awareness of the concept of fatigue safe systems built on a risk engineering framework and the design of fatigue safeguards to achieve acceptable risk levels.

Module Eight: Faid®Safe - Business Wide Compliance Monitoring

This module includes the selection and implementation of a Management and Operations Support System, including FAID® fatigue risk assessment software, to perform routine (weekly/monthly/quarterly/annual) assessment and monitoring of ongoing hours of work fatigue risks. A balanced focus is given to both Planned Work Schedules and Actual Work Schedules. The impact on projected fatigue risk levels of factors such as seasonality, callouts, overtime, sick leave and shift swaps are included in the monitoring and reporting system.

Highly visual reports and views are used to focus on business wide, local operations and individual compliance with organisational and legislated fatigue safety level targets.

A key focus of the compliance monitoring systems is a balanced view of historical and projected risks associated with job tasks and hours of work.

Faid®Safe Business Wide Compliance Monitoring incorporates the following Fatigue Graid® Risk factors:

  • hours of operations (i.e. day/afternoon/night operations)
  • seasonality impacts on workload vs workforce balance
  • nature of rosters (i.e. rotating, fixed, on-demand, standby)
