Fatigue Management Report

Introduction
The purpose of this report is to talk about Fatigue Management. I have included the best possible
causes, methods, problems and some solutions that are associated with Fatigue inside Build Boutique
Build Australia.
Fatigue is more that inclination worn out and lazy. In a work setting, weariness is a condition of mental
as well as physical depletion that lessens an individual’s capacity to perform work securely and
adequately.
It can happen as a result of drawn out or extreme mental or physical action, rest misfortune or
potentially interruption of the inner body clock. It can be characterized as a condition of disability that
can incorporate physical as well as mental components, related with lower readiness and diminished
execution.

Fatigue analysis
Fatigue Management is really important nowadays to work effectively and productively and even when
Boutique Build starts complaining in future about the stress and fatigue. Below is the analysis for
September time sheet that needs to be followed to have a better workplace without stress. Company
safe working hours need to be followed and some September time sheet data has been attached for
that staff so that they can work effectively. Planned and safe fatigue management steps need to
organise and implemented to run Boutique Build Australia.

Problems associated with fatigue

Fatigue may increase the risk of incidents because of a lack of alertness. Fatigue may result in a slower
reaction to signals or situations and affect the ability to make good decisions, particularly when:
- Operating fixed or mobile plant including driving vehicles
- Undertaking critical tasks that require a high level of concentration
- Undertaking night or shift work when a person would ordinarily be sleeping

A person conducting a business or undertaking must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the
health and safety of workers while they are at work. This means if fatigue is identified as causing a risk
to work health and safety, then suitable control measures should be implemented in consultation with
works to eliminate or minimize the risks.

Risks associated with fatigue and procedures for managing the risk of fatigue.
Extended work hours can affect the amount of time available for adequate sleep opportunity, it affects
people differently but it can increase a worker’s hazard exposure by:
- Reducing mental and physical functioning
- Impairing judgement and concentration
- Lowering motivation
- Slowing reaction time
- Increasing risk-taking behaviour

Loss of alertness is an early sign of fatigue and may include minor memory lapses or difficulty in
operating equipment safety. Fatigue affects the ability to think clearly and to make safety-related
decisions. The issue is compounded by the fact that someone who is very fatigued may underestimate
how fatigued they are and it can cause irritability, agitation and the tendency to overreact to issues that
arise.

Proposed strategies for managing fatigue and relationship to hierarchy of control

The risks associated with fatigue can be managed by identifying the factors which may cause fatigue in
the workplace, controlling risks by implementing the most effective control measures reasonably
practicable in the circumstances and reviewing control measures. For Glow Management Consult
problem the best strategies to use and reduce load of hours for workers and their fatigue, need to
ensure adequate staffing levels in order to enable control over other factors such shift length, amount of
overtime and the average time of duty. As well as shift scheduling, this is best addressed by using
fatigue risk models to assess place limits on the number of consecutive working hours or the number of
days worked in a row. It would be imperative to educate employees on the causes of fatigue and the
ways that they can manage their personal fatigue risk.
