Solución de Riesgo y Seguridad

El problema

Los controles solo funcionan si las personas pueden reconocer la fatiga

Usted debe brindar a los trabajadores información y capacitación sobre los riesgos que gestiona, y la fatiga se menciona cada vez más como uno de ellos. El contenido genérico sobre higiene del sueño rara vez cumple la expectativa publicada para la capacitación sobre fatiga.

Awareness eLearning está diseñado conforme a esa expectativa, y enseña el único comportamiento que hace funcionar la observación durante el turno: reconocer la fatiga en uno mismo y en un compañero.

Casos

When the cost of fatigue fell on the employee

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

Ferry pilot who 'reported to work exhausted' jailed; city loses bid to cap liability after 11 deaths
- Seguridad
- Legal
- Financiero
A city-run passenger ferry in New York hit a concrete maintenance pier at full speed after its assistant captain, who had slept poorly and taken prescription painkillers, lost awareness at the controls; 11 people died and about 70 were injured. The pilot admitted he had been too exhausted to work that day and was jailed, as was the ferry director who failed to enforce a two-pilot rule. Federal courts refused to let the city limit its liability, finding that a second pilot or a reasonable practice for pilot incapacitation would have prevented the disaster, and the city's settlements exceeded $90 million.

Truck driver on duty and driving at least 21 hours crosses median; three killed and driver banned as imminent hazard
- Seguridad
- Legal
A truck crossed the median of an interstate and hit a passenger vehicle head-on, killing three people. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration found the driver had been on duty and driving for a minimum of 21 hours before the crash, in violation of hours-of-service rules designed to prevent fatigued driving, and that 70 of his 160 duty records for the previous six months were missing. FMCSA declared him an imminent hazard and ordered him off interstate commercial driving.

Paving company truck driver who 'just fell asleep' kills road worker; manslaughter conviction upheld
- Seguridad
- Legal
A semitrailer driver for a paving and construction company, returning after delivering two backhoes to a work site, drove erratically for almost 10 miles before crashing into a highway construction zone and killing a road crew member. He told witnesses he had fallen asleep and admitted feeling tired; months later he was diagnosed with sleep apnea and accepted that he had excessive daytime sleepiness before the crash. The Kansas Court of Appeals upheld his involuntary manslaughter conviction, holding that the long stretch of erratic driving plus his admitted drowsiness showed conscious disregard of a known danger.

Short-slept dump truck driver falls asleep approaching red light; two killed, 10 years' prison
- Seguridad
- Legal
A dump truck driver working long days in an area recovering from a major wildfire hit stopped traffic at a red light at 55 mph with no sign of braking, setting off a four-vehicle crash that killed two people and seriously injured four. State highway patrol investigators concluded he had not obtained the sleep needed to drive his commercial vehicle safely after late nights in the preceding days, and that he fell asleep approaching the intersection. He pleaded guilty to two counts of felony vehicular manslaughter and was sentenced to ten years in state prison.

Nurse who slept at the hospital between back-to-back shifts gives wrong drug and patient dies; license suspended and hours capped
- Seguridad

A labor and delivery nurse at a hospital worked two consecutive 8-hour shifts ending at midnight, slept at the hospital, and began another 8-hour shift at 7:00 am. That day she infused an epidural medication intravenously instead of penicillin to a teenage patient, without scanning the barcodes or reading the label, and the patient could not be resuscitated. The state Board of Nursing suspended her license for nine months and, for two years afterwards, limited her to 12 hours in any 24 and 60 hours in any 7 days.

Early one morning in 2015 a semi-trailer crossed into oncoming traffic on a California highway, killing one driver and injuring two other motorists. State highway patrol investigators found the truck driver had fallen asleep and had falsified his logbook to hide hours that meant he should have been out of service. He was convicted of felony vehicular manslaughter and ordered to pay more than $230,000 in restitution, with the local district attorney stating that knowingly driving a big rig while overly fatigued is criminal.

Truck driver who fell asleep after 19 hours without rest jailed for false logbooks; child killed
- Seguridad
- Legal
A long-haul truck driver fell asleep at the wheel after driving 19 hours without rest, veered off the interstate and struck a parked vehicle, killing a child. Investigators found he had falsified his logbook on several earlier occasions to conceal hours-of-service violations. He was jailed in federal court for making false statements in his logbooks, with a state vehicular homicide charge pending.

Falling asleep at the wheel of a tractor-trailer is recklessness: Pennsylvania court upholds homicide by vehicle conviction
- Seguridad
- Legal
A tractor-trailer drifted from its lane on an interstate and hit a lawfully parked tractor-trailer, killing its driver, who was outside his vehicle. The stipulated trial record included the driver's statement to a trooper that he must have fallen asleep; on appeal he argued that 'blacking out' was different from falling asleep. Pennsylvania's Superior Court agreed with the trial court that the distinction was unsupported and illusory, and held that falling asleep while driving an eighteen-wheeler on a busy interstate supplied the gross negligence or recklessness needed to convict, with the burden then shifting to the driver to show he had no warning signs and no opportunity to act on them.

Cómo funciona

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.

Los cinco niveles de defensa

Paso 01
Asignación
Se asigna a toda la cohorte designada. El acceso está abierto a todos sus integrantes, no a un grupo seleccionado.
Paso 02
Módulos
Fisiología de la fatiga y ciencia circadiana, peligros específicos de la industria, educación sobre trastornos del sueño, cómo sobrellevar el trabajo por turnos y su propio programa de gestión del riesgo de fatiga.
Paso 03
Reconocimiento
Reconocer la fatiga en uno mismo y en un compañero: el comportamiento que hace funcionar la observación en el Nivel 3.
Paso 04
Registro de finalización
Finalización, verificación de conocimientos y cambio de comportamiento autorreportado, registrados para su expediente de evidencia.

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.

Evidencia

Lo que podemos demostrar

Una revisión de la capacitación sobre fatiga de operadores frente al parámetro de referencia publicado, realizada por el profesor Drew Dawson, encontró que el material típico es sólido en conciencia general sobre la fatiga e higiene del sueño y no alcanza el parámetro de referencia en siete aspectos. El registro de brechas de esa revisión es la especificación de este plan de estudios.

Lo que no establece

Finalizar no es ser competente, y ser competente no es reducir errores. No es un control de Nivel 4: atrapar los errores relacionados con la fatiga depende del diseño de tareas, la verificación cruzada y procedimientos tolerantes a errores, y la capacitación no los sustituye.

Preguntas frecuentes

Las preguntas que más nos hacen

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.
