IMPLICATIONS IN THE WORKPLACE
EASY TO USE: Portable, practical and consistent form of self analysis. Cost Effective when compared to potential costs of lack of fatigue assessment
SCIENTIFICALLY AND LEGALLY DEFENSIBLE: Supported and endorsed by Centre for Sleep Research. Expert evidence given at coroner's inquests by Professor Drew Dawson, discussing the relevance of the Fatigue Calculator and the Prior Sleep Wake Method as a viable means of fatigue assessment.
EMPLOYEE ACCOUNTABILITY: By equipping your employees with the necessary tools to personally monitor their fatigue status. The extent of the employees accountability is determined by the extent of staff personally given a FATIGUE CALCULATOR.
EDUCATE AND INFORM: Daily us of the FATIGUE CALCULATOR will educate your employees about how their non-work behaviour impacts upon their fatigue levels; and how to best manage their sleep cycles. The difference between obtaining 5hrs and 8hrs sleep can be the difference between reporting fit for work or unfit for duty on long shifts.
ENHANCE EXISTING FATIGUE MANAGEMENT PLAN: The Fatigue Calculator can be easily adapted into your existing fatigue management practises. The fatigue risk thresholds can be adapted to suit your existing fatigue requirements.
PREDETERMINES FATIGUE ONSET: The Fatigue Calculator can pre-assess the fatigue levels at any given point in the day. When used at the beginning of shift, it will determine how long a person can work for before fatigue becomes an unacceptable level of risk. Thereby providing a means to plan and minimise the effects of the fatigue risk to production or the task at hand.
DOCUMENTATION OF FATIGUE: By providing your employees and contractors with a form of documentation eg timesheet, pre-check list, Fatigue Notebook; your company will have documentation of individuals fatigue levels on a daily basis.
EDUCATE THE FAMILY UNIT: By providing employees with an individual tool for assessment, they are able to take the Fatigue Calculator home and discuss their non-work fatigue with the family unit - and typically the decision makers.
The Fatigue Calculator is available in the following applications:
