TLIF2010 Apply Fatigue Management Strategies.

One of the most important benefits is that proper fatigue management can lower the rate of accidents that occur by positively impacting the rate of human error and reducing it.

It also increases the rate of productivity in several ways. Workers are healthier and happier, resulting in less time off work. Also with fewer accidents, workers are more productive and spend less time off the job.

Effective fatigue management can decrease the cost of general maintenance in terms of human resources. It lowers absenteeism and staff turnover.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply fatigue management strategies within the transport and logistics industry.

It includes identifying and acting on signs of fatigue and implementing appropriate strategies to minimise fatigue during work activities, in particular when operating equipment, trains, vehicles, load shifting equipment, marine vessels and aircraft.

Work is undertaken in compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, codes and guidelines.

Work is performed under some supervision generally within a team environment.

This unit is delivered as part of SDS Training’s Certificate III in Driving Operations and Certificate III Agriculture.

Completion of this unit may provide credit transfer opportunities for learners pursuing further study in transport, logistics, or agricultural operations qualifications.
