Course Overview

Safety performance on long shift fatigue and safety degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. Almost every serious incident involving fatigue and safety was preceded by a signal somebody noticed and nobody escalated. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the occupational health and safety capability, ready to be adapted internally. Mature organisations treat long shift fatigue and safety as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The programme converts this area of occupational health and safety from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from fatigue and safety, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Ambition around long shift fatigue and safety outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The content is relevant to those who own fatigue and safety and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this strand of occupational health and safety rather than a set of notes.

Course Modules

01

Long shift fatigue and safety: occupational health and long-term exposure

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The cost of long shift fatigue and safety and how to present it

  • Close out actions on long shift fatigue and safety rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Rank the weaknesses in fatigue and safety by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Arrange the handover of long shift fatigue and safety so capability survives staff changes.
  • Make the reporting route for hazards in fatigue and safety short and non-punitive.

Session 2Auditing fatigue and safety in the field rather than in the file

  • Build the competence framework that supports long shift fatigue and safety.
  • Agree the smallest change to fatigue and safety that would be visibly useful.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to long shift fatigue and safety.
  • Verify permits covering fatigue and safety are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
02

Fatigue and safety: competence, authorisation and supervision

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Building lasting competence in fatigue and safety

  • Confirm the training cycle sustaining competence in long shift fatigue and safety is current.
  • Record who is authorised to work on fatigue and safety and when authorisation expires.
  • Audit application of long shift fatigue and safety controls at the workface.
  • Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for fatigue and safety, do not just publish it.

Session 2Keeping fatigue and safety alive after the initial push

  • Ask the people doing long shift fatigue and safety what makes the procedure hard to follow.
  • Confirm that reporting on fatigue and safety reaches the people who can act.
  • Confirm that those complying with long shift fatigue and safety understand why it exists.
  • Assess long-term health exposure created by fatigue and safety and arrange surveillance.
03

Fatigue and safety: reporting, investigation and root cause

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The permit regime fatigue and safety needs, and the one it does not

  • Prepare the evidence pack a regulator would ask for on long shift fatigue and safety.
  • Set out the decisions in fatigue and safety that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Check that lessons from long shift fatigue and safety reached other sites doing similar work.
  • Apply management of change to any modification affecting fatigue and safety.

Session 2Why a good control on long shift fatigue and safety stops being used

  • Confirm that controls on long shift fatigue and safety sit as high up the hierarchy as reasonably practicable.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for fatigue and safety.
  • Prepare the summary of long shift fatigue and safety that senior management will read.
  • Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for fatigue and safety are proven before work starts.
04

Fatigue and safety: procedures, permits and practical controls

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Making near-miss reporting on fatigue and safety safe to do

  • Set leading indicators for long shift fatigue and safety that predict rather than count.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around fatigue and safety are understood.
  • Build the internal briefing that explains long shift fatigue and safety to those affected.
  • Estimate the resource fatigue and safety requires to run as designed.

Session 2Assessing the hazards in fatigue and safety without turning it into paperwork

  • Check the procedure for long shift fatigue and safety against how the work is actually done.
  • Plan the sequence in which improvements to fatigue and safety will be introduced.
  • Check that records of long shift fatigue and safety answer the questions likely to be asked.
  • Check that fatigue and safety still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
