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 documents risk management procedures risk management competence assessment processes risk management training and learning opportunities hazard control system |
The need for fatigue management in a range of industry situations including: | operations conducted at all times but particularly at night typical weather conditions while working and/or driving at a workplace, depot, base or warehouse while working and/or driving at a client's workplace or work site driving a motor vehicle on the open road driving a motor vehicle on a private road driving a train, locomotive or motive power unit operating a marine vessel in coastal or international waters operating an aircraft operating load shifting equipment operating 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 friends working multiple jobs personal 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 systems ensuring work schedules provide adequate opportunity for rest and recovery between shifts assessing work tasks for fatigue related risk and redesigning if necessary managing fatigued employees |
Responsibilities of individual for fatigue risk management may include: | following the organisation's fatigue management policy and procedures using time away from work appropriately to rest and recover checking and ensuring fitness for work reporting symptoms of fatigue |
Fatigue management competency-based training may include: | initial induction training (incorporating a basic fatigue management component) fatigue management awareness training in-depth training on fatigue and fatigue management techniques remedial training where existing competence is assessed as being insufficient refresher training on fatigue management |
Depending on the organisation, operating procedures may include: | standard operating procedures company procedures enterprise procedures organisational procedures established procedures |
Information and documents may include: | Commonwealth and state/territory regulations and guidelines concerning fatigue management in various transport and workplace situations fatigue risk management system documents workplace instructions and procedures on fatigue management reports of audits of fatigue risk management system error and safety incident reports relevant OH&S regulations and procedures relevant standards and certification requirements quality assurance procedures |
Applicable legislation, regulations and codes may include: | relevant regulations and codes of the Commonwealth Government and the state/territory regulatory authorities concerning fatigue management relevant state/territory road rules relevant rail industry safe working codes and regulations (where applicable) relevant state/territory permit regulations and requirements relevant state/territory OH&S legislation |
