Roster Design

Our Smart Roster Design principles allow for optimal sleep opportunity and recovery time between workdays, duty patterns or shifts.

Smart roster design for fatigue management is a proactive strategy to combat work-related fatigue, creating healthier, safer and more productive workplaces. 

By meticulously managing shift patterns, providing regular breaks, and optimising work hours, this approach ensures employees have adequate time for rest and recovery, including sufficient sleep between shifts.

Our Smart Rostering Service includes:

  • Analysis of current roster patterns and fatigue risk points
  • Integration of fatigue scheduling principles into rostering practices
  • Recommendations for managing overtime, secondary employment, contingency planning and environmental controls.
  • Compliance with WHS legislation, code of practice and industry requirements
  • Implementing smart rostering principles to manage fatigue requires a comprehensive approach with worker consultation, proper planning, and expertise. 

Embedding fatigue management design principles into your roster build process is fundamental to controlling fatigue risk for shiftworkers.
