Ethos Health provides a clear and systematic process to optimise Fatigue Risk Management in your organisation. With over 15 years of experience working with industry leaders in utilities, transport and logistics, construction, mining and more. Our team of health professionals and our technology driven solutions help our clients implement the best in class Fatigue Risk Management Systems.
Utilises a comprehensive risk-based approach which complies with legislative requirements for controlling risks associated with fatigue. A systematic, multilayer approach is used to assess risk by reviewing work and non-work fatigue hazards and current mitigation strategies. Recommendations and a clear plan are developed to guide additional controls and the review of operational policy and procedures.
Examines work hours (planned or actual) to assess fatigue and incident risk exposure in a workforce. The assessment is based on validated, bio-mathematical modelling which predicts fatigue risk resulting from work hours. Diagnostic reports can be generated for existing rosters and for roster changes. In addition, rosters can be built and monitored to ensure compliance within agreed fatigue exposure levels.
Individual Fatigue plans are designed to identify the work and non-work variations that affect individuals in the workforce, identify their current management strategies and develop recommendations for additional strategies that could be implemented to proactively manage fatigue, health and wellbeing.
Designed to assist organisations develop fatigue procedures specific to their legislative requirements and needs. A vast array of factors can contribute to fatigue. Therefore, control mechanisms need to be part of a Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) to avoid fatigue-related incidents.
Designed to assesses workplace factors that are known to contribute to fatigue including: work hours, task demands, demographic and individual factors, fatigue procedures, fatigue training, fatigue events, culture and morale. A good understanding of the fatigue risks that employees experience on a regular basis helps find better ways to manage fatigue risks and to reduce the frequency of fatigue.
Our team of fatigue subject matter experts are routinely engaged to undertake research and consultancy projects for industry bodies and large industrial clients such as literature reviews, evidence statements, resource development, conference presentations, SME representation during stakeholder engagement.
An introduction to fatigue which includes the factors contributing to fatigue and identifying the early signs to prevent a fatigue-related event. Workplace and individual factors are discussed including legislative responsibilities for managing fatigue, responding proactively and managing individual risks (such as sleep, nutrition, mental health, physical activity, smoking, drugs and alcohol).
Designed for those in leadership roles to enable them to competently manage the risk of fatigue in the workplace. Topics include strategies for engaging individuals in fatigue prevention and management, monitoring strategies, applying rostering schedules in line with policies and procedures, recognising breaches, assessing staff competence in fatigue management and providing feedback.
Designed for anyone with responsibility for training others on the implementation of fatigue management strategies. This may include Trainers and Assessors, WHS personnel, Onsite Health personnel or leaders to provide the knowledge, skills and resources required to train the workforce on the implementation of fatigue management strategies in a defined workplace in accordance with national and state/territory legislation and relevant regulations.
Workforces on extended or night shifts, traveling over 20 minutes one-way, face increased fatigue risks. Journey Management Plans (JMP) help mitigate this risk and may be required within a Fatigue Risk Management System. This workshop covers identifying fatigue symptoms, understanding driving risks, knowing when to act, and developing individual JMPs.
The sleep science workshop aims to improve the quantity and quality of sleep for participants through the provision of information and tips on how to navigate shift work, create good sleep hygiene, develop sleep routines and maximise knowledge of how sleep impacts on their broader health.
This workshop is designed to have one of our fatigue subject matter specialists take participants through the why, what, how and when of an organisations fatigue management procedure.
A Fatigue Management Charter is an agreement among workplace members on managing fatigue when it occurs. It includes a vision, commitments, and actions to enhance health, safety, and wellbeing, offering significant benefits for creating a supportive and effective work environment.
This workshop covers:
The FatigueTech App helps organisations automate their fatigue risk management systems by utilising established safety methodologies and guidelines. This optimises the balance between legislative responsibilities, service delivery, and worker health. Additionally, it offers resources and information to empower individual workers to enhance their fitness for work. Features include:
