Fatigue Risk Assessment
We create and deliver solutions to optimise the health & safety of people and organisationsy
Fatigue Risk Assessment
Fatigue is a recognised hazard in a variety of workplaces, particularly those that require their workforce to work extended hours or shift work. Where there is an identified fatigue risk there is a legislative obligation to assess and to control risks to as low as reasonably practicable.
We conduct Fatigue Risk Assessments in the following industries:
- Utilities
- Transport and Logistics
- Construction
- Mining
- Agriculture
- Rail
- ...and more

Risk Assessment Approach
Our Fatigue Risk Assessment utilises a comprehensive risk-based approach which complies with legislative responsibilities to provide for controlling risks associated with fatigue. It is a systematic, multilayer approach to:
- Review work and non-work related fatigue hazards,
- Analyse risk,
- Identify current mitigation strategies,
- Develop recommendation for additional controls; and
- Develop a risk treatment plan, which subsequently used to guide the review of operational policy and procedures.
Make sure your Fatigue Risk Management System is comprehensive
