Incident and Accident Analysis

Was It Fatigue?

Structured post-incident analysis of whether fatigue contributed to an event, and through which pathway.

The problem

Serious incidents must be investigated. Few investigations ask properly about fatigue.

Fatigue is easy to assert and hard to establish after the fact. Investigations tend either to miss it or to blame it without testing the alternatives.

Was It Fatigue? gives your investigators a consistent, repeatable way to ask, and a record that shows the alternatives were tested.

How it works

How it works

  1. 01

    Event

    An investigator opens an assessment against a specific incident.

  2. 02

    Was fatigue present?

    The Fatigue Likelihood Score, from four questions: falling asleep immediately prior, behavioural symptoms in the preceding fifteen minutes, prior sleep and wake history, and sleep opportunity in the roster.

  3. 03

    Was it a fatigue-type error?

    The Fatigue Error Likelihood Score tests alternative explanations at every level before attributing the error to fatigue.

  4. 04

    Combined finding

    A Fatigue Attributable Likelihood Score on a 1–5 band with the pathway named, which feeds back into roster, sleep and in-shift controls.

What the client sees

Who sees what

Each record names the fatigue pathway and documents the alternatives tested. It is priced on investigation volume, not headcount: the only event-priced product in the suite.

Priced on prevalence, not headcount. How pricing works.

Evidence

What we can show

Its construction requires both the presence of fatigue and a fatigue-signature error, and tests alternative explanations throughout. That is what stops it inferring causation from fatigue alone.

It is the only product in the suite that looks across all levels, including roster adequacy, retrospectively after an event.

What it does not establish

It is retrospective. It does not predict an event, does not size a population, and one investigation does not establish a pattern. It is not a validated instrument and no validation claim is made for it. Records produced are discoverable.

See what sleep and fatigue mean for your workforce.

Tell us your industry and roughly how many people you employ. Your snapshot models how many are likely sleeping poorly and what it costs you. Then choose who you’d cover, and we’ll scope the right next step with you: a Fatiguefit Census where fatigue is a safety risk, or a proposal for a wellbeing program.
