G BookmarksFatigue management resources
Industry and Investment New South Wales has released two new resources to support fatigue management in the mining industry.
The resources are the Guide to the development and implementation of a Fatigue Management Plan in the NSW mining and extractives industry and the Fatigue Risk Management Chart.
The new guide and chart aim to help the industry manage occupational health risks in the same systematic way they address safety risks.
The resources will help mines and quarries to better understand their existing legislative obligations in managing occupational health risks. The guidance is flexible so individual sites can develop a fatigue management plan suited to their specific needs.
This guide is the result of extensive public consultation and demonstrates the commitment that union and employer stakeholders have to improving mine safety in NSW.
This tool is part of a suite of tools that the NSW Mine Safety Advisory Council, in conjunction with Industry & Investment NSW, is compiling for the mining and extractives industry to work toward achieving world-leading OHS.
