The workforce and workplace have evolved significantly over time. With the invention of the light bulb and the numerous technological advances ever since, the workforce has been forced to adapt to 24/7 operations, 365 days per year.

With increasing demand comes the need for workers to staff positions around the clock. But humans aren’t built to work this way. If not managed appropriately, fatigue can have many negative consequences. Not only on the human body but on workplace health and safety incident rates.

This webinar will provide a brief overview of the evolution of fatigue risk management practices and provide insight about active defenses companies should consider implementing to create a comprehensive fatigue risk management system. The presentation will close with a case study involving the implementation of a fatigue risk management program and resulting successes and challenges.

Learning Objectives  

  • Inform attendees on the evolution of fatigue risk management practices.
  • Discuss the basics of circadian physiology and how it relates to fatigue risk management.
  • Identify program elements for consideration in establishing a fatigue risk management program.
  • Share lessons learned from the presenter’s perspective in implementing a fatigue risk management system at an industrial facility.
