INVESTIGATING & MANAGING SLEEP-RELATED FATIGUE
A Hybrid Training Opportunity of Clinton's 2 Most Popular Courses!
Understanding the causes and consequences of fatigue is essential for improving safety, health and productivity.
The next session will be from 21 to 23 January, 2025
INSTRUCTOR: Clinton Marquardt, Sleep & Fatigue Specialist
COURSE HIGHLIGHTS: Fatigue is an omnipresent and often overlooked threat, impacting everything from workplace, transportation and personal safety to productivity, and overall health. For managers and safety professionals, mastering the complexities of fatigue and its underlying causes is the key to building a proactive culture of sleep and fatigue management within their organizations.
This dynamic 3-day course is a hybrid of Clinton’s 2 most popular courses and is designed to take you on an interactive journey through the intricacies of sleep and fatigue management and investigation. You’ll delve into the process of incident action sequencing and learn to assemble detailed sleep-wake histories to uncover whether fatigue played a role in safety incidents. Explore the fascinating world of sleep physiology, including the stages of sleep and circadian rhythms, and discover how chrono-types influence sleep.
We’ll also cover the 6 Fatigue Risk Factors, helping you identify the causes of fatigue and explore innovative strategies to counter them. Gain insights into visual and bio-mathematical analysis techniques to evaluate sleep-wake, rostering, and shift-work patterns, and learn how to assess fatigue levels using standardized tools.
The course highlights human performance impairments linked to fatigue and presents a comprehensive toolkit of fatigue prevention and countermeasure strategies, including scheduling practices, evolving organizational culture, controlled rest, and treatments for sleep disorders. You’ll also walk through the 12-Step Investigating Human Fatigue Factors (IHFF) process, which is indispensable to developing effective corrective action plans that improve your organization’s safety, health and productivity.
In addition, the program emphasizes both organizational and personal sleep and fatigue management strategies. You’ll explore sleep optimization, anchor sleep techniques for stabilizing circadian rhythms, and the hidden benefits to performance and personal health of a robust fatigue management program. Stress and its impact on sleep will also be addressed, ensuring a holistic approach to fatigue management.
Designed for all learning styles, visual, auditory and kinesthetic, the course includes engaging multimedia elements such as videos, a case study, and real-world vignettes. Interactive exercises, Socratic-style discussions, and thought-provoking Q&A sessions will reinforce your understanding and empower you to apply what you’ve learned to your organization’s sleep and fatigue management program.
Multimodal Training with Examples, Vignettes, a Case Study and Lessons Learned from an Interesting Array of Industries!
