Module Nine:
Faid®Safe - Contingency
& Emergency Plans
This module involves the process
of developing Fatigue Risk based
Contingency & Emergency Plans
for the business operations. Examples
of possible situations that might
require an organisational contingency
plan include:
- a fatigued employee who reports
not fit for duty;
- an employee whose indicative
fatigue level has reached
unsafe levels i.e. a FAID®
score of 80 - 85, or has only
had a sleep opportunity of
5 hours;
- unplanned high workloads;
- an employee is not able to
spend the required time in
suitable sleeping accommodation
to comply with the requirements
for a split shift;
- loss or unavailability of
work/duty data;
- a computer failure
These contingencies must address
the specific actions that will
be taken to manage the situation
such as:
- What must the employee/supervisor
do?
- What happens next?
- Who is involved in the chain
of responsibility? The employee?
The supervisor? The Operations
Manager? The General Manager?
Faid®Safe Tertiary
Protection incorporates the following
Graid® Risk factors:
- contingency and emergency
procedures

Module
Ten: Faid®Safe
- Contingencies, Incidents &
Accidents Procedures
In the event of a work-related
incident an investigation should
be conducted to determine whether
the appropriate Fatigue Safe System
procedures have been complied
with or not.
The following steps should be completed
as part of a Faid®Safe
Incident & Investigation procedure:
- Objective Evidence
of Fatigue at time of Incident?
Investigate the hours of work
and non-work activity for
a period of at least two weeks
prior to the incident of the
individual or individuals’
involved in the incident and
determine whether there is
objective evidence of fatigue.
- Compliance of Hours
of Work with Published Roster?
Review the published roster
of each individual or individuals’
involved in the incident and
establish whether the actual
hours worked vary in any way
from the published roster.
- Isolated or Consistent
behaviour?
Review the hours worked for
a 12 month period prior to
the incident of the individual
or individuals’ involved
in the incident to establish
whether the incident is an
isolated case or reflects
a chronic case of unacceptable
fatigue risk management.
- Individual or Systemic
Behaviour?
Review the hours worked for
all other members of the work
group for a 12 month period
prior to the incident to establish
whether the behaviour is restricted
to an individual case or reflects
a systemic problem.
- Appropriateness of
Fatigue Risk Thresholds &
Training
Review the processes leading
up to the establishment of
the Fatigue Risk Thresholds
to confirm compliance with
Faid®Safe Hazard
Analysis principles. In particular
confirm whether the individual
or individuals involved have
received appropriate training
in the principles of Fatigue
Safe Systems.

Module
Eleven: Faid®Safe
- Fatigue Risk Grading
This module involves the engaging
of a professional risk engineering
assessor to conduct a Fatigue
Risk Grading to evaluate Insurable
Risk Assessment.
Faid®Safe Tertiary
Protection incorporates the following
Graid® Risk factors:
- audit - periodic assessment
of fatigue risk controls
