Mine safety training and workshops
Mastering fatigue management workshop
The mastering fatigue management program analyses the physiological aspects of fatigue, investigates the need for sleep, the effects of monotonous tasks and the impacts of our working environments on individuals.
Through the program we analyse the benefits of a systematic approach toward managing fatigue risks, developing worker awareness/educational campaigns and skills toward implementing a fatigue management plan and working towards the continuous improvement of fatigue management.
This education program is suited to managers, OHS professionals, site check inspectors, industry check inspectors, contractors or anyone that has the ability to influence change.
The program consists of an educational workshop that will be conducted over a 2 day period and an optional 1 day fatigue site evaluation.
A new workshop is being held in Narrabri on 28-29 February 2012.
For more information, please see the registration form.
