Manage Worker Fatigue and Alertness

Written by Peter Hay | January 4, 2024

Predictive Safety's COO, Jeff Sease, joins James Junkin and Dr. Linda Martin on The Risk Matrix Podcast talking about fatigue and impairment and how to tackle this complex issue utilizing technology to maintain productivity and keep your staff alert.

Fatigue and human factors are inevitable. Furthermore, in most workplaces, even when these factors are identified, it is not practical or feasible to remove workers from the worksite. The goal of our technology is to not be punitive. It is to be Proactive! 

It's crucial to identify "who needs help today?" so that you can engage, coach, and promote alertness to support your workforce and maintain production. 

In this episode, we address the following topics;

  • Defining and understanding impairment, it's not just about drugs and alcohol.

  • Unpacking the "Impairment Pie" – Stress, personal factors, and their impact on safety and productivity.

  • How Predictive Safety's approach incorporates cognitive assessments to gauge alertness.

The discussion is eye-opening and provides valuable insights for businesses aiming to enhance safety, productivity, and reduce losses.
