Fatigue Management Training Course, Shift Work Risk Calculator (Digital Download)

Give every shift team, supervisor and manager a practical way to manage fatigue, without wading through guidance.

This HartfellCo Fatigue Management training course covers shift work, night work, long hours and on-call patterns in plain English for workplaces in Great Britain. It is built around one rule for safety-critical work: Check it. Swap it. Rest it. Part one, Check it: three quick questions before the task, Sleep, Shift and Signs, and any Red means call it. Part two, Swap it, Rest it: stop, swap the task or the person, and rest or get home safely. Calling it is the safe thing, not the weak thing. These are our rules and suggestions, not legal minimums.

The course also draws on one real case published by the rail regulator (ORR), summarised in our own words: a rail contractor that sent staff on an urgent overnight job after a working day, and the fatal crash on the drive home. The company was prosecuted under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. Sources include HSE guidance (HSG256), GOV.UK and Acas.

This is a digital download (5 zip files). The Excel tracker is a shift pattern and fatigue risk log, not a medical record, and it is not the withdrawn HSE Fatigue and Risk Index: it flags published guideline figures as prompts for a proper risk assessment. This course is awareness-level training, not legal or medical advice, and is not a substitute for a site-specific risk assessment. If you are worried about your sleep or health, speak to your GP.
