FATIGUE

MANAGEMENT
SOLUTIONS
DESIGNED TO
ENHANCE THE
WELLBEING AND
SAFETY OF INDIVIDUALS

Fatigue is one of the most

significant safety and wellbeing
hazards in the workplace.
Fatigue impacts organisational
outcomes, including turn-over,
lost productivity, operational
errors, and safety incidents.
It can affect people in each
layer of an organisation, from
management staff, to field
operators, to office personnel.
Despite most organisations having
fatigue management policies
and practices in place, reduced
alertness continues to remain a
safety and wellbeing challenge.

Enhancing alertness management

systems involves an investment
in the individual and leadership
factors that underpin organisational
culture, and influence safety and
wellbeing outcomes. Building an

alert culture involves increasing the

level and quality of engagement in
the fatigue management system
and reinforcing attitudes that
drive personal responsibility for
managing alertness.

Engaging people in effectively managing alertness involves:

Understanding how the brain works
Knowing what motivates people
Communicating effectively
Applying tools that reinforce helpful attitudes

alertMIND is designed to assist supervisors

to motivate their crew to engage in managing
their fatigue and maintaining alertness in the
workplace. alertMIND is based on current
psychological and neuroscientific research about fatigue and alertness as they
relate to the heavy resource industry. Through this process, supervisors gain
an understanding of the brain functions involved in alertness with application
to workplace performance; further develop their leadership toolkit for leading
an alert culture; and enhance their practical skills in applying alertness control
measures consistent with company policy to invest in workplace safety.
