If you work in the transport industry, you may need to complete your basic fatigue management training. Fatigue management training courses provide drivers with the knowledge required to keep themselves and others safe on the road.
Here are some strategies to assist you as a driver in fatigue management.
- Find a quiet truck bay or rest stop
- Use dark curtains and liners to keep out light in the vehicle cabin.
- Make sure your sleeping berth is well ventilated.
- Take eye shades and earplugs with you.
- Turn off your mobile phone and radios.
- Take time to change out of your work clothes as you would at home.
- Drink plenty of water.
- If using a motel, rent one away from the highway and railway lines to reduce noise transference.
- Have a cool cabin to sleep in or an air conditioned room.
Working long hours will make you fatigued in several ways:
- It stops you resting and sleeping.
- It may have you on the road in the early morning when the body clock turns alertness down.
- It may make you bored and drowsy.
As you can see fatigue management is an important skill for drivers. Many drivers are required to complete a basic fatigue management course to ensure they are compliant with the current transport laws. Fortunately, can be completed online.
