Editor's Notes
- An elephant is a big, hairy, loud beast that takes up lots of room. You may think there’s a whole herd of elephants in your control room – all the pieces of the CRM rule. Let me tell you a story.
- There were these six blind men who were placed around an elephant. They felt what was in front of them, and thought there was a snake, a spear, a column, a fan, a wall, and a rope. None of them recognized this was an elephant. We do that, even though we can see. We see alarm management, change management, SCADA, fatigue management, training, shift change, and the pieces. And we mostly see the piece that most interests us. I hear much about alarms and SCADA because those are more technical aspects. A control room is a sociotechnical system, and we need to look at the whole elephant, not just the pieces.
- These are the musts – time off and training; have you reduced the risks of fatigue? Yes, if controllers are sleeping eight hours at night or in the daytime and they receive adequate days off to recover from several shifts of night shift or day shift. Training is good, and a necessary part of fatigue management.
- These are statements of interest, and we heard many others yesterday about sleep science.
- If our blind men had been here yesterday, they would know that training, sleep opportunity, and maximum hours of service are important. I evaluated the online courses offered by SGA a few weeks ago, and think they are a simple way to complete the training requirements. But I believe in an educational program approach more than a single training course.
- The real elephant in the room, which we don’t want to talk about, is those pesky people. And fatigue has immediate effects on performance and long term effects on our systems.
- I was reading this mystery a few weeks ago. It is an accurate statement about people, I think. This is why we say, “I can’t control what the people do when they’re off. How do I know whether they sleep or not?”
- Here’s the approach I think provides a more rigorous approach to fatigue management. If you have ever worked for a company that received attention from NTSB investigators, OPS taskforces, and other government agencies, you will never think about risk the same ways again.
- I recommend to my clients that we use a risk-based approach to fatigue management. Today I am going to provide an overview of fatigue hazard analysis.
