Fatigue Management. 19.1 The parties recognise the need to develop a fatigue management strategy in the interests of patient safety, employee wellbeing and the optimisation of performance in the context of both training and service provision.
19.1.1 The parties agree that rosters require ongoing audit and amendment to minimise the risk of fatigue.
19.2 Given the paucity of research available that is directly applicable to the context of training doctors, the employer agrees to support SToNZ in undertaking audit and research to provide an evidence based model for fatigue management within the New Zealand healthcare system.
19.3 Employees who have worked a long day, nightshift, or on-call shift may request, at expense of employer, for a taxi home and back to the workplace the following day if they believe they are so fatigued that it compromises their safety.
19.4 Health and Safety is a dual responsibility between employer and employee. Employees have a duty to ensure that they manage their fatigue risks by accessing annual leave appropriately and to ensure that their leisure time activities allow for appropriate rest and recreation between periods of duty. The employee agrees to participate, during working hours, in programmes, tools or resources for fatigue mitigation or management that the employer may provide or make available from time to time.
Fatigue Management a) The Employer acknowledges that a common feature of an employee’s duties is significant travelling time, in conjunction with labour intensive work. As a result, fatigue is a potential hazard that needs to be carefully monitored and managed by the Employer to ensure that employees do not place themselves at an unacceptable level of risk.
b) Where, considering the time between the Employee’s depot and/or home and the worksite and the required daily working hours and it is unreasonable for an employee to travel home each night, the Employer shall allow the Employee to choose to remain away from home, staying near the relevant work site rather than drive back to their home or work depot. In such an instance, the employee will be paid the relevant allowances related to travel away from home contained in this Agreement.
Fatigue Management. As this is intended to address fatigue management, these hours cannot be accumulated and used at other times.
Fatigue Management. GPRA and GPSA agree that fatigue management is an important issue and is a shared responsibility between both the registrar and the training practice. Training practices and supervisors are charged with the responsibility for the safety of not only their registrars but also that of their attending patients.
a) The management of fatigue and excessive workload is fundamental to high quality GP training, requiring xxxxx and open dialogue between the registrar and their employer to allow for arrangements to be made to address and mitigate fatigue issues.
b) The registrar should be encouraged to share any challenges regarding their study habits with their supervisor and seek solutions to minimise education-related fatigue.
c) The registrar is required to advise the practice manager of any additional work they are doing outside their engagement with the training practice.
d) It is the registrar’s responsibility to inform the practice of any shifts at another place of work that may impact on their ability to have a clear period of rest of no less than ten (10) hours.
e) The training practice is responsible for ensuring the registrar has a clear period of rest of no less than ten (10) hours between shifts.
f) The registrar is responsible for ensuring they have a clear period of rest of no less than ten
Fatigue Management. As outlined in the PTA’s Fatigue Management Policy, it is the responsibility of the Employer and the employee to manage fatigue. Operational rosters shall be planned to meet both business needs and to minimise risks associated with fatigue. Fatigue management will be taken into consideration when considering shift lengths or whenever an employee is required to perform an additional shift, mutually agrees to swap a shift, or a situation or emergency occurs that requires the employee to work an extended shift.
Fatigue Management. Mater and Medical Officers recognise that fatigue management is critical to safe work practices. A contemporary approach in addition to the fatigue provisions outlined in Part 11 (Fatigue Related Matters) below will be developed which confirms that Mater and Medical Officers must work together to ensure:
Fatigue Management. The Company agrees to develop practices and working arrangements that take into consideration the nature of the rail-working environment. In respect to fatigue management, rosters, additional hours and work will all be monitored to ensure employees do not place themselves at an unacceptable level of risk. In return, employees agree to present for work in a safe manner without undue impairment caused by fatigue or external activities likely to cause fatigue. All parties to this Agreement have a shared responsibility in ensuring fatigue related risk is minimised.
Fatigue Management.
12.1.1. Mater and Medical Officers recognise that fatigue management is critical to safe work practices. A contemporary approach in addition to the fatigue provisions outlined in Part 12 below will be developed which confirms that Mater and Medical Officers must work together to ensure:
(a) All Medical Officers are safe from fatigue hazards while at work;
(b) When a Medical Officer is fatigued, they will have access to facilities where they can rest;
(c) Patients will receive safe health care at Mater Health Services.
12.1.2. It is expected that this approach will address these principles and provide a framework that will apply at Mater. Work on a draft of this approach will commence by the nominal expiry date of this Agreement.
12.1.3. Further, it is expected that at the local departmental level, a risk assessment will be undertaken and a pre-arranged process will be implemented to manage fatigue where required.
Fatigue Management. 10.1.1 Mater and VMOs recognise that fatigue management is critical to safe work practices. A contemporary approach will be developed which confirms that Mater and VMOs must work together to ensure:
(a) all VMOs are safe from fatigue hazards while at work;
(b) when a VMO is fatigued, they will have access to facilities where they can rest;
(c) patients will receive safe health care at Mater.
10.1.2 It is expected that this approach will address these principles and provide a framework that will apply at Mater.
10.1.3 Further, it is expected that at the local departmental level, a risk assessment will be undertaken and a pre-arranged process will be implemented to manage fatigue where required.

19.1.1 The parties agree that rosters require ongoing audit and amendment to minimise the risk of fatigue.
19.2 Given the paucity of research available that is directly applicable to the context of training doctors, the employer agrees to support XXXXX in undertaking audit and research to provide an evidence-based model for fatigue management within the New Zealand healthcare system.
19.3 Employees who have worked a long day, nightshift, or on-call shift may request, at expense of employer, for a taxi home and back to the workplace the following day if they believe they are so fatigued that it compromises their safety.
