Human fatigue is recognized as being one of the primary causes of accidents in industry today. The costs of fatigue are a major human and financial burden to companies, workers, and their families.
Employers must ensure that everyone in their workplace is aware of potential workplace hazards (such as fatigue), and take steps to prevent workplace accidents, injuries and illnesses that may be a result of fatigue.
Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to define and recognize the symptoms of fatigue, to develop a fatigue risk management strategy and to develop skills to assist and reduce the impact of the contributing factors to fatigue. The participants will learn how to develop, implement and evaluate a Five-Level Fatigue Hazard Control Model. |
