This unit covers how to apply a fatigue risk management system in a transport and logistics workplace. You will learn to identify the signs and causes of fatigue, understand your responsibilities under fatigue management regulations, and use a fatigue risk management system (FRMS) to monitor and respond to fatigue-related risks on the job. The training is grounded in real workplace scenarios relevant to the road transport industry.
This unit suits workers in road transport and logistics who are required to manage their own fatigue or contribute to fatigue management processes in their organisation. It is particularly relevant if you drive heavy vehicles, work variable or extended shifts, or operate in an environment where fatigue poses a safety risk to yourself and others.
After completing this unit, you will be able to apply the procedures and tools within a fatigue risk management system, recognise when fatigue is affecting safe performance, report fatigue hazards appropriately, and take practical steps to reduce fatigue-related risk in your day-to-day work.
