| The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. |
Workplace may include: | any work environment requiring safety critical operational judgements to be made and in particular when operating equipment, vehicles, load shifting equipment, trains, marine vessels and aircraft at night |
Components of a fatigue risk management system include: | risk management policy documentsrisk management proceduresrisk management competence assessment processesrisk management training and learning opportunitieshazard control system |
The need for fatigue management in a range of industry situations including: | operations conducted at all times but particularly at nighttypical weather conditionswhile working and/or driving at a workplace, depot, base or warehousewhile working and/or driving at a client's workplace or work sitedriving a motor vehicle on the open roaddriving a motor vehicle on a private roaddriving a train, locomotive or motive power unitoperating a marine vessel in coastal or international watersoperating an aircraftoperating load shifting equipmentoperating safety critical industrial plant and equipment |
Work-related factors that may contribute to fatigue include: | work demands such as: workload, work duration, shift pattern, time of day, frequency and duration of breaks and the type of work (e.g. .working in isolation, repetitive tasks and boring, monotonous or under-challenging tasks)organisational factors such as: work environment (including temperature, ventilation, continual rhythmic vibration from equipment), payment system, trip and work scheduling, and the predictability of work |
Worker/operator-related factors that may contribute to fatigue include: | lifestyle factors such as: sleep patterns, alcohol and drug use, quantity and timing of food and drink, and opportunities for relaxation with family and friendsworking multiple jobspersonal or biological factors such as: state of mental and/or physical health, inadequate sleep, sleep disorders, emotional stress, family responsibilities, relationship difficulties, inadequate competence to complete work tasks, and circadian rhythms |
Responsibilities of organisation for fatigue risk management may include: | providing support such as: complying with fatigue management regulations, developing and implementing appropriate policy and procedures, providing assessment, training and learning opportunities, and establishing and implementing error and incident reporting systemsensuring work schedules provide adequate opportunity for rest and recovery between shiftsassessing work tasks for fatigue related risk and redesigning if necessarymanaging fatigued employees |
Responsibilities of individual for fatigue risk management may include: | following the organisation's fatigue management policy and proceduresusing time away from work appropriately to rest and recoverchecking and ensuring fitness for workreporting symptoms of fatigue |
Fatigue management competency-based training may include: | initial induction training (incorporating a basic fatigue management component)fatigue management awareness trainingin-depth training on fatigue and fatigue management techniquesremedial training where existing competence is assessed as being insufficientrefresher training on fatigue management |
Depending on the organisation, operating procedures may include: | standard operating procedurescompany proceduresenterprise proceduresorganisational proceduresestablished procedures |
