Purpose

This guideline provides information on and aims to support good practice in policy development for the evaluation and mitigation of fatigue risk management in the Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) in NZ.

The guideline has been prepared with the aim of improving the understanding of, and the ability to manage fatigue for everyone within the wider electrical industry.

Scope

This guideline recognises that fatigue in many developed countries has been identified as a workplace hazard and therefore needs to be managed.

This guideline:

• Provides a basic definition and description of fatigue.
• Introduces a systematic approach to the identification, evaluation and management strategies that can be adopted by the reader in the management of fatigue and its existence within a business.
• Identifies the necessity for fatigue to be managed in a “defences in depth” FRMS framework.
• Explains that effective management of fatigue related risk requires the use of fatigue proofing as a complementary approach to fatigue reduction.
