Step Five: Monitor and review
The final step in the fatigue management process is to monitor and review the effectiveness of fatigue control measures to consider these points:
- Have the chosen control measures been implemented as planned?
- Are the chosen control measures working; and
- Are there any new problems?
When answering these questions:
- Consult with workers, supervisors, health and safety representatives, officers, and committees;
- Measure exposure to fatigue; and
- Monitor incident reports and assess the likelihood for fatigue contributing to incidents ¿ pay particular attention to injuries and incidents that occur in periods of high fatigue.
To best manage fatigue, it is essential that there is a process, regularly reviewed, for ongoing monitoring and evaluation of workplace fatigue.
