Comprehensive programs
Addressing fatigue is a complex undertaking. The most effective approach for many organizations will be a comprehensive and integrated Alertness Management Program (AMP) that draws on the latest scientific findings on fatigue physiology, and that uses proven strategies to minimize fatigue and to promote alertness and performance on the job.

Fatigue is acknowledged as a prominent safety issue in operational settings. To evaluate how your organization is handling fatigue-related issues download the Alertness Management Safety Evaluation tool.

 

Alertness Metrics Technology (AMT)
AMT provides an innovative approach to collecting objective data related to fatigue, alertness, safety and performance in real world operational settings. Using state-of-the-art technology, AMT is a streamlined, cost-effective method to obtain empirical data that can be used to guide challenging operational decisions involving scheduling issues, alertness strategies, 24/7 operations, and safety.

 

Education & training
As a foundation for any successful approach to manage fatigue, education activities can include presentations, videos, in-house or train-the-trainer courses, brochures, intranet/internet content, or other materials tailored to meet company needs.

Investigating Human Fatigue Factors
Alertness Solutions has teamed up with the NTSB Academy to present a two-day course (first held March 2004) to train investigators and safety personnel in methods on how to identify fatigue factors in accidents and incidents. For more information, click here.

 

Specialized projects
One of the strengths Alertness Solutions offers is the ability to adapt products and services to an organization's specific needs. This has resulted in several tailored projects, such as a two-part study with Hilton Hotels to examine how travel affects the productivity of frequent travelers; a customized self-evaluation tool (ASET) designed for an airline to help pilots assess their personal alertness status; and several unique scheduling projects for airlines.

 

Alert Traveler®
Jet lag and fatigue can degrade every aspect of your functioning when traveling. Corporations can reduce the hidden costs of travel and optimize business outcomes by providing the Alert Traveler seminar for their corporate executives and travelers. This informative and lively presentation provides a wide range of practical, proven strategies for managing jet lag and maintaining alertness.
