In the workplace, we often consider fatigue (or a lack of energy) the result of poor personal choices, such as unhealthy diet, lack of exercise or placing low priority on sleep; or as a result of poor character, like laziness, lack of motivation or apathy. However, the most common causes of worker fatigue are more closely associated with individuals physiology, rather than their choices. This seminar will explain the causes of fatigue, the impacts that it has on the workplace and the role fatigue mitigating technologies and change management play in the broader fatigue risk management system.
Purpose
This course is designed to provide participants with a basic understanding of the principles of fatigue management and how fatigue can affect the safety of oneself and those around you.
Following this session, participants will be able to …
- Gain a base level knowledge of fatigue
- Recognize signs and effects of fatigue
- Understand the causes and cures of fatigue from three different perspectives
- Understand how to set goals around personal fatigue management
- Exercise behavior change techniques that mitigate fatigue
Session Description
Managing Fatigue Around the Clock is designed to increase the knowledge of fatigue and personal fatigue management strategies of shift workers in all industries. Through the training, the participants will obtain a basic knowledge of the definition of fatigue and its signs and effects. The causes and cures of fatigue will be covered from three different perspectives; Operational, Environmental and Physiological, and Behavioral.
