Solution Risque et sécurité

Le problème

Les contrôles ne fonctionnent que si les gens savent reconnaître la fatigue

Vous devez fournir aux travailleurs de l’information et de la formation sur les risques que vous gérez, et la fatigue est de plus en plus nommée parmi ceux-ci. Le contenu générique sur l’hygiène du sommeil répond rarement aux attentes publiées en matière de formation sur la fatigue.

Awareness eLearning est conçu en fonction de ces attentes et enseigne le seul comportement qui rend efficace l’observation pendant le quart: reconnaître la fatigue chez soi et chez un collègue.

Cas

When the cost of fatigue fell on the employee

Employees in Canada charged, jailed, fined, dismissed or struck off over fatigue at work, often after pushing on while they knew they were tired.

Long-haul trucker on two hours' sleep falsifies logbook; four killed in highway pile-up
- Sécurité
- Juridique
A long-haul truck driver on a 28-hour run drove into stopped traffic on a major urban highway, causing an 11-vehicle pile-up that killed four people. The court found he had slept no more than about two hours after 13.5 hours of driving, had falsified his logbook to hide the missing rest, and was either distracted or falling asleep. He was convicted of criminal negligence causing death and jailed for eight years; the judge said a reasonable commercial truck driver would never have taken these risks.

Supreme Court holds mine worker who kept driving while sleepy fully liable for supervisor's death
- Sécurité
- Juridique
After a 12-hour shift at a mine development and a night out, a mine worker drove his supervisor home in the early hours, felt sleepy and wanted to stop but dozed off before he could, and the car hit a culvert, killing his passenger. The lower courts dismissed the family's claim on the basis the passenger had accepted the risk. The Supreme Court of Canada reversed this, holding that knowingly continuing to drive while sleepy was conduct a passenger could not reasonably foresee, so the passenger bore no blame.

Tanker driver and employer fined after rollover following days of five-hour breaks
- Sécurité
- Juridique
- Financier
In his first week on the job, a tanker truck driver rolled his empty rig on a northern highway and suffered a broken neck and head injuries. Yukon commercial vehicle enforcement found he had averaged only about five hours off between shifts over the four nights before the crash, had driven more than 15 hours without rest and had worked more than 80 hours without a 24-hour break. Both the driver and his employer, a construction company, were prosecuted and pleaded guilty.

Court rejects claim against livestock auction after worker on 19-hour day falls asleep driving home
- Sécurité
- Juridique
A worker who had put in what the court called 'an amazing 19 hard and grueling hours' at a livestock auction, on top of his regular job, fell asleep at the wheel driving home at about 4am and was left paralysed. He sued the auction business, arguing it was responsible for his exhaustion. The Court of Queen's Bench dismissed the claim, finding that his decision to spend several hours drinking after work broke the causal link between the work-induced fatigue and the crash.

Conductor 'on the job for some 18 hours' lets dangerous-goods train run at 62 mph in a 35 zone; fatigue refused as mitigation after he skipped booked rest
- Juridique
A national railway's conductor on a train carrying special dangerous goods failed to warn the engineer that the train was traveling at 62 mph through a 35 mph restriction. He said he had been on the job for about 18 hours and that the limit slipped his mind through fatigue. The arbitrator refused to treat fatigue as a mitigating factor because the conductor had been able to book up to eight hours' rest before taking the assignment and chose not to, so his fatigue was his own decision. The 20 demerit marks were upheld.

Trucker driving 85-95 hours a week on two logbooks loses grievance as arbitrator rules fatigue cannot be self-managed
- Juridique
A truck driver for a trucking company admitted working for other carriers, driving 85 to 95 hours a week and keeping two logbooks, and was dismissed in 2016. The arbitrator upheld the dismissal, finding that repeatedly and substantially exceeding the 70-hour weekly driving limit over many weeks was a serious fault, aggravated by the false logbooks and lies to the employer. The arbitrator rejected the argument that sleeping well, taking breaks and eating well reduced the risk, finding that driver fatigue is a biological state that cannot be controlled and that repeated excess hours build a sleep debt.

Night-shift carer who planned a nap beside a high-risk patient loses arbitration over dismissal
- Sécurité
- Juridique
A night-shift nurse caring for a client with autism, a history of violence, seizures and a risk of wandering brought a quilt and an alarm clock to work intending to nap; the alarm failed and she slept. She then asked a colleague to cover for her. The arbitrator upheld her termination because the nap was deliberately planned, she tried to cover it up, she endangered the patient's safety and she showed no remorse.

Engineer found asleep in cab after working through lunch; sleeping alone 'might' merit less, but speeding record upholds dismissal
- Juridique
A national railway's locomotive engineer was found asleep in his stationary locomotive at about 7:25am, at the end of a night shift in which the crew had worked through their lunch break to service a customer. Finding him asleep led the railway to pull the locomotive's event recorder data, which showed repeated speeding on the two previous night shifts. The arbitrator held that the extra scrutiny was justified because it was reasonable to ask whether the engineer was fatigued, and said the sleeping on its own might have warranted a lesser penalty. The dismissal was upheld because of the speeding and the engineer's prior discipline for a very similar offence.

Night guard found reclined at a nuclear fuel site at 3.30am reinstated under last-chance terms
- Juridique
During a 3.30am security audit at a nuclear fuel facility, a night-shift plant guard and supervisor was found fully reclined with his feet on the desk and his safety boots off, apparently asleep. The arbitrator accepted there was just cause for discipline and noted the 'potential catastrophic consequences' of a guard's inattention, but found the company's own policy and past practice treated sleeping on the job with warnings. The guard was reinstated to a lower position under a last-chance agreement rather than dismissed.

Engineer's sleep apnea fatigue 'probably affecting his work' weighed in cutting dismissal to demotion after locomotive sparks lineside fires
- Sécurité
- Juridique
A national railway's locomotive engineer placed a low-power, non-turbocharged locomotive on line with high-power units, contrary to the railway's operating instructions, and the train set fires along the line that firefighters had to put out. He was dismissed for accumulating demerits. The arbitrator found discipline was warranted but counted the engineer's sleep apnea, which had caused him fatigue during 2015 and probably affected his work, among the reasons discharge was too severe, while stressing that employees are responsible for making sure they are fit to work. He was reinstated on a last-chance basis, demoted from locomotive engineer.

Comment ça fonctionne

Training that makes the other controls work

Short modules teach employees and managers what fatigue is, where it comes from, how to recognise it in themselves and others, and what to do about it. It is not a control on its own: it supports the two levels of defence that rely on people, getting enough sleep and spotting fatigue on shift, and every completion is recorded.

Les cinq niveaux de défense

Step 01
Attribution
Attribuée à l’ensemble de la cohorte désignée. L’accès est ouvert à toutes les personnes qui en font partie, et non à un groupe sélectionné.
Step 02
Modules
Physiologie de la fatigue et science circadienne, dangers propres à l’industrie, sensibilisation aux troubles du sommeil, gestion du travail par quarts et votre propre programme de gestion des risques liés à la fatigue.
Step 03
Reconnaissance
Reconnaître la fatigue chez soi et chez un collègue: le comportement qui rend efficace l’observation au niveau 3.
Step 04
Registre de réussite
Réussite, vérification des connaissances et changement de comportement autodéclaré, consignés pour votre dossier de preuves.

A fatigue control only works if someone recognises fatigue, in themselves or in the person beside them. Generic sleep tips don’t teach that. I wanted training that does, for everyone on the roster and the managers who run it.

Données probantes

Ce que nous pouvons démontrer

Un examen de la formation sur la fatigue offerte par des exploitants, mené par le professeur Drew Dawson par rapport à la référence publiée, a constaté que le matériel typique était solide sur la sensibilisation générale à la fatigue et l’hygiène du sommeil, mais en deçà de la référence sur sept points. Le registre des lacunes issu de cet examen constitue le cahier des charges de ce programme de formation.

Ce que le produit n’établit pas

Réussir une formation n’est pas être compétent, et la compétence ne réduit pas à elle seule les erreurs. Ce n’est pas un contrôle de niveau 4: intercepter les erreurs liées à la fatigue relève de la conception des tâches, de la contre-vérification et de procédures tolérantes aux erreurs, et la formation ne les remplace pas.

FAQs

Questions we’re often asked

Who is it for?

Employees and managers. It is assigned to the whole nominated cohort, not a selected group.

What does it cover?

Fatigue physiology and circadian science, the hazards in your industry, sleep-disorder education, coping with shift work, and your own fatigue risk management program, with a focus on recognising fatigue in yourself and in a colleague.

What do we get for our records?

Individual completion and aggregate knowledge-check reporting by cohort, location and craft, in a form you can file as training evidence.

Will training on its own reduce fatigue-related errors?

No. Completion is not competence, and training is not a substitute for task design, cross-checking and error-tolerant procedure. It makes the controls at Levels 2 and 3 usable by the people running them.

Does it collect any health information?

No clinical or screening result is produced.
