Roster Design & Analysis
Fatigue is a recognised hazard in organisations undertaking shift work or extended working hours and obligations exist under the Section 19 of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 to manage risks to health and safety, where fatigue is a recognised risk in these working environments.
We can run diagnostic reports for the assessment of existing rosters, when roster changes are planned, to build rosters with agreed fatigue exposure levels, meet legislative requirements and audit actual hours of work to ensure compliance within agreed exposure levels.
We conduct Roster Reviews in the following industries:
- Utilities
- Transport and Logistics
- Construction
- Mining
- Agriculture
- ...and more
Make sure your Fatigue Risk Management System is comprehensive

Risk Assessment Approach
Our Fatigue Risk Assessment utilises a comprehensive risk-based approach which complies with legislative responsibilities to provide for controlling risks associated with fatigue. It is a systematic, multilayer approach to reviewing work and non-work related fatigue hazards, analysis of risk, identification of current mitigation strategies, development of recommendations for additional controls and the development of a risk treatment plan. This risk treatment plan is then used to guide the review of operational policy and procedures.
