New Training Course!
Fatigue Risk Management for Managers & Safety Stakeholders
Join us on Nov 25-26, 2019 at Pearson International Airport
Course cost: Members: $645 Non-members: $745
Certification: All participants who attend the full course will be awarded certificates of completion. A course topic mapping onto the Canadian Aviation Regulations (the CARs) for fatigue risk management training will be provided.
Everyone feels fatigued now and then. It's a normal biological state that tells us when we need to sleep. But when it happens in safety critical, high risk, or influential situations, it can lead to negative operational and financial outcomes with often dangerous results. Human fatigue impacts the health, safety and productivity of the 24/7 workforce. It can lead to accidents and mistakes that can be costly. This course is designed to provide executives, managers and supervisors with practical tools and approaches to effectively manage sleep-related fatigue in the workplace and keep employees healthy, safe and productive. This course is taught from a safety management perspective.
THIS COURSE MEETS TRANSPORT CANADA’S NEW REQUIREMENTS FOR FATIGUE RISK MANAGEMENT TRAINING
While there are currently no Transport Canada (TC) regulations requiring fatigue risk management training for people working for airports and aerodromes, industry is progressing in this direction and taking a proactive approach to managing fatigue-related risks that included training. This course meets TC’s new requirements for fatigue risk management training for flight crews and should meet any requirements to provide similar training to people working for airports and aerodromes.
Many of the organizations that take this training are aiming for excellence. Even if there are no regulations enforcing the training, they are seeing great value and realizing significant ROI by dealing with fatigue differently. Payoffs can include improved safety, healthier workforces, increases in productivity and measurable returns such as a 28% drop in absenteeism and recuperation of $2,000 to $4,000 per employee per year by managing fatigue differently.
Course Outline:
Types of Fatigue • Defining sleep-related fatigue • Fatigue and its relationship to sleep • Types and stages of sleep •Sleep inertia • Relationships between sleep quantity and quality • The 6 fatigue risk factors • Chrono-types and the relationship to sleep quality • Fatigue related safety, health and performance impacts on accidents & incidents • Self-assessement of sleep problems • Organizational strategies • Personal fatigue prevention strategies • Personal fatigue countermeaures • Stress and its effects on sleep stress, stress reduction
At the conclusion of the course, participants will be able to:
• Discuss fatigue & its complex relationship with employees' sleep • • Use practical tools to identify the 6 human fatigue risk factors • Analyze sleep-wake rostering, and shift-work patterns to determine likelihood of fatigue • Implement effective countermeasures to reduce the risk of fatigue • Use effective strategies to reduce the risk of fatigue leading to major human performance issues, mistakes, incidents and accidents • Understand the difference between fatigue prevention strategies and fatigue countermeasures • Implement fatigue risk management approaches at an organizational level • Provide employees with fatigue risk management approaches at an individual level
• Use the content of this training to develop your own in-house training program • Incorporate the use of bio-mathematical fatigue modeling to reduce the risk of fatigue and performance impairments • Identify and put into place the most important components of an ideal Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) • Use the components of an ideal FRMS to improve the health, safety and productivity of a 24/7 workforce • Merge an FRMS into an existing SMS
