Fatigue Management

Presentation by: John Knowles, OHS Consultant, Xchanging

Presentation package now available (members only)

The importance of understanding the effects of fatigue and managing it in the workplace and our own lives was brought home in an information-packed presentation by John Knowles to Central Safety Group on 10 September, 2013.
John, who is OHS Consultant with Xchanging, said that fatigue management was now recognised as an issue for a wide range of workplaces, not only in industries where it was traditionally a concern such as long-haul trucking and aviation.
He outlined in detail what fatigue was, its mental, emotional and physical effects and the impact it had on people’s capacity to perform their job safely and effectively. John also described the key elements of an effective fatigue management system for the workplace.

AI know-how & OHS
The topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being met with rising interest and speculation about how it can be applied in the workplace. An example of the successful use of AI in OHS will be presented to Central Safety Group on Tuesday 14 October by John Ansley, co-founder of Knowby.
They have developed a digital tool, Knowby Pro, that takes the complexity out of instructions, giving instant access to critical information. John will demonstrate how the Knowby Pro platform works, and the different ways it can be applied in business.
CSG Committee member Gavin Kenny, who is Head of Health and Safety Systems Transformation at Opal, will contribute to the presentation by talking about how he uses the tool at his workplace. He will give his perspective on its application at Opal, and how it has improved their OHS communications.
Billed as an alternative to those painful how-to manuals and instructional videos, Knowby Pro allows users to create SOPs or work instructions using a combination of text and images and/or video, with the help of AI.
John and Gavin’s presentation will include an opportunity for questions from the audience.
