Guidelines for developing and implementing a fatigue management policy in forestry
The purpose of this guidance material is to assist Forestry industry participants to identify assess and manage the risks associated with Fatigue. This document provides a structured approach to the development of a Fatigue Risk management system including a fatigue policy, risk assessment tools and risk-based control options to manage fatigue. A series of case studies are used to illustrate how Fatigue Risk Management methods explained in this document may be applied in a Forestry context. The examples are generic in nature and not intended as a template for businesses to adopt.
LITA recently obtained approval from the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) to deliver two fatigue risk management units. The two one-day units will further equip you in developing and implementing your own fatigue management policy.
