Fatigue Management our 3 Dimensional Approach Work Environment, Lifestyle and Sleep Key principles applied; risk-based multi-disciplinary integrated & systematic holistic solutions 7
Shared Learnings from our Kolomela Mine Awareness and Education Induction e-learning and face-to-face training. Lark and owl study done on the operators of mobile equipment. Bio-rosters Unions and employees vote on a schedule designed to reduce fatigue Predictive Monitoring Technology Bio-rosters are designed to limit fatigue but when overtime is added to the schedule it is monitored by an electronic fatigue calculator that tracks real time fatigue data on each employee., i.e. the Predictive Risk Intelligent Safety Module (PRISM) Fatigue Detection Vehicles quipped with collision avoidance technology and ASTID (pilot underway). Nutritional Supplements Employees have access to caffeine, energy drinks, water or energy tablets during their shift that further the employees ability to combat fatigue. A baseline study on energy drinks was done to determine their effect on sugar levels..there is no silver bullet! 8
Lifestyle Improved Living Conditions Home Ownership and Hostel Conversion Kolomela Kolomela Project included construction of decent housing integrated into the town of Postmasburg - 712 houses at 3 locations At Sishen, existing traditional hostels converted into self catering family/single units Before After THABAZIMBI IRON ORE MINE
Bio-rosters Bio-rostering refers to the pre-emptive management of fatigue by taking individual schedules and rearranging days and times to make them safer e.g. in a typical DDNN schedule, employees come to work 5 days a month with 0 3 hours sleep. This is equal to a BAC of 0.07 0.08. When the pattern is changed to DDXXNNN, this takes high risk fatigue out of the schedule. Kolomela shift roster Weeks / Crews MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT SUN Hours worked 1 D D - - N N N 48 2 - TR (Mining) D D - - - 36 3 N N - - D D D 48 4 TR (Plant) - N N - - - 36 10
Predictive Risk Intelligent Safety Module Proactive and predictive fatigue management tool Monitors and identifies fatigue risk on an individual basis Assesses Fit for Duty at clock-in and predicts fatigue risk for the shift Scientifically validated Alertness Test for secondary affirmation of performance Provides for inclusion of off-the-job fatigue-related factors Provides feedback process to track fatigue mitigation actions
Fatigue Detection - ASTiD Kolomela are piloting the Advisory System for Tired Drivers (ASTiD). Astid analyses driver/vehicle interactions through steering corrections. It is built on sound scientific research into sleep and sleepiness by Loughborough Sleep Research Centre world renowned for its work into the effect of driver fatigue. 12
Next Steps - Lifestyle Event Notification System (LENS) LIFESTYLE EVENT NOTIFICATION SYSTEM (LENS) Considering USES PERSONAL the use of personal PLANNERS planners AND and communication COMMUNICATION devices to DEVICES warn and counteract TO fatigue PROVIDE NOTIFICATIONS THAT WARN OF OR COUNTERACT FATIGUE LENSmobil for Smartphones LENSpocket to Carry on Person LENSplanner for Home Use LENSsms for Basic
Conclusion A successful programme requires; Leadership commitment and resource allocation A risk-based approach Multi-disciplinary teams seeking integrated, holistic solutions Total involvement and engagement of all stakeholders (employees, unions, families, service providers and communities)..take control, take charge!
