Operators change behaviour after fatigue alerting system is fitted, caused by:
- Operators develop a trust that the alerting system will always wake them from micro sleeps in time to avoid incidents
- Previous successful fatigue management actions are no longer applied e.g. ensuring adequate rest between shifts, use of rest facilities during night shift etc.
This Credible Failure mode is addressed by:
- BI-01D.03 Fit for work processes with specific advice on self-management
- BI-01P.08 Alarm and vehicle information panel expected response – information prepared for Operators
- BI-01S.02 Pre-commencement and periodic medicals for mobile equipment operators
- BI-02D.10 Operator ergonomics are considered for controls and before introducing vehicle alarms and other aids
- BI-05D.05 Site fatigue management processes are comprehensive and optimise work rosters
