The ARRB Pro-Active Fatigue Management System utilises fatigue education with ongoing performance management supported by the ARRB Fatigue Monitoring Device. The fatigue monitoring device is a stimulus reaction device that measures reaction times to stimuli. It establishes a baseline performance measure for each operator and tests against this measure throughout the working shift. The fatigue management aspect couples fatigue research, education and training into a system of pro-actively managing operator performance. It commences with training that highlights the most pertinent performance issues directed at what is relevant to the mining environment. Each operator has his/her data analysed and a performance profile is generated to assist in the management of performance. At regular intervals, the data for each person is revisited and an updated performance profile developed. This unique system offers a very practical combination of fatigue education, training and feedback support from technology. It takes a risk management approach to fatigue by addressing the issues at a grass roots level. (Author/publisher) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E209619.
