Fatigue is one of the most common sources of human impairment, costing businesses billions of dollars each year. However, most operations do not have an easy way to measure worker fatigue.

To develop a safety culture informed by fatigue risk many extended-hours operations have started using biomathematical fatigue risk models to assess and quantify fatigue risk associated with each operator and their respective work schedule. But how do these models work? How can they be best integrated into everyday operations? And what benefits are operations experiencing by utilizing a fatigue risk model?

This session will provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of how biomathematical fatigue risk models were developed and optimized using real-world data and how they have been used in multiple industries to improve safety outcomes and operational efficiency.

You'll learn:

• How biomathematical models are mathematical representations of biological processes
• Insights into fatigue risk, alertness, and the likelihood of safety incidents
• The core principles behind these models, highlighting how key factors such as circadian rhythms, sleep debt, and the timing of work schedules can influence fatigue risk levels.
