INVESTIGATING SLEEP-RELATED FATIGUE

 The next session will be scheduled soon, contact Clinton to get on the notification list today!

INSTRUCTOR:  Clinton Marquardt, Sleep & Fatigue Specialist

COURSE HIGHLIGHTS:  If you are working in an SMS environment, you should be analyzing the role of fatigue in your incidents and accidents. This means you have to go beyond just asking if the people were fatigued. You have to know how to look for the 6 Fatigue Risk Factors and you will have to understand the errors that fatigue can cause. You could spend a couple of years researching the risk factors and errors and then developing your own method. But why not learn it all in just two days?

In his two-day hands on course, Sleep & Fatigue Specialist Clinton Marquardt, will teach you the easy to follow step-wise method he optimized and refined for the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) of Canada. This internationally recognized and accepted method will integrate perfectly with your contemporary Safety Management System (SMS) or Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS). Your safety investigations will be more comprehensive with strong conclusions about fatigue as a risk or causal factor. With better investigations, you will be able to identify the right corrective actions without wasting time and money on ineffective and poorly targeted ones.

Clinton will equip you with in-depth knowledge of the latest fatigue science that will allow you to make accurate determinations of the impact of fatigue on the safety, health and performance of your organization. You will be able to use this information to improve your SMS and FRMS.You will learn the material through an engaging use of case studies and hands-on experience as Clinton guides you step-by-step through the method.

 Multimodal Training with Examples, Vignettes, Case Studies and Lessons Learned from an Interesting Array of Industries!
