Jobsite Fatigue Assessment

While you’re probably aware of the fact that operator fatigue can result in poorer performance and a higher threat to worksite safety, how much risk are you actually exposed to on a daily basis? And how do you mitigate your risk and institute change to improve the alertness of your operators?

Although the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) doesn’t have a set standard to follow regarding irregular or extended work scheduling, statistics show that fatigue plays a role in one-third of on-the-job accidents. In addition, studies reveal that the negative effects of fatigue are comparable to the impaired responses that result from drinking alcohol. From poorer attention spans to slower reactions, the productivity and safety of operators suffer when fatigue enters the picture.

This situation is why Caterpillar® Safety Services was established. Using Cat® Connect technologies, your leaders, supervisors and operators can become better informed and equipped to deal with any fatigue and distraction issues before they become problems that can cost you time and money. And the best way to understand just how much risk you’re currently exposed to as a result of fatigue, as well as how to make focused changes that pay off, is to take advantage of a Fatigue Risk Assessment.
