Release 1.  This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply fatigue management strategies within the transport and logistics industry.

It includes identifying and acting on signs of fatigue and implementing appropriate strategies to minimise fatigue during work activities, in particular when operating equipment, trains, vehicles, load shifting equipment, marine vessels and aircraft.

Work is undertaken in compliance with relevant legislation, regulations, codes and guidelines.

Work is performed under some supervision generally within a team environment.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Not applicable.

F – Safety Management.

ELEMENTS 

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1 

Identify and act on signs of fatigue 

1.1 

Potential causes of fatigue are identified and actions taken to minimise their effects in accordance with workplace procedures

1.2 

Personal warning signs of fatigue are recognised, and necessary steps are taken in accordance with workplace procedures, to ensure that effective work capability and alertness are maintained

2 

Implement strategies to minimise fatigue 

2.1 

Workplace procedures are assessed to minimise fatigue

2.2 

Factors that increase the risk of fatigue-related accidents and incidents are minimised

2.3 

Fatigue management strategies are implemented in accordance with workplace policy and procedures

2.4 

Lifestyle choices are made that promote the effective long-term management of fatigue

2.5 

Effective practices in combating fatigue are adopted and applied

2.6 

Personal fatigue management strategies are communicated to relevant people

2.7 

Appropriate counter measures are planned to combat fatigue

Foundation skills essential to performance are explicit in the performance criteria of this unit of competency.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions can be found in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

This unit replaces and is equivalent to TLIF2010A Apply fatigue management strategies.

Release 2.  This is the second release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package.

• Minor changes to Assessment Conditions.

Release 1.  This is the first release of this unit of competency in the TLI Transport and Logistics Training Package.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

• adapting to changes in rosters and standard operating procedures (SOPs) as they relate to fatigue management
• adjusting lifestyle patterns to ensure effective fatigue management during work activities
• applying precautions and required actions to minimise and control the effects of fatigue when carrying out own work functions
• applying relevant legislation and workplace procedures
• communicating effectively with others when applying fatigue management strategies
• identifying and meeting own learning needs about fatigue management related matters
• modifying activities and taking appropriate initiatives to manage fatigue in the workplace depending on work contexts, risk situations and environments
• reading and interpreting instructions, procedures, regulations and signs related to fatigue management and applying them to work activities
• recognising symptoms of fatigue and taking appropriate actions in accordance with fatigue management regulations and workplace procedures
• working collaboratively with others to manage and minimise the effects of fatigue during work activities.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

• causes and effects of fatigue on workers
• factors that increase fatigue-related accidents
• how fatigue affects workplace performance
• how fatigue contributes to workplace accidents
• lifestyles that promote effective long-term fatigue management
• relevant fatigue management codes, regulations, permit and licence requirements
• relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations as they relate to fatigue
• risks and hazards created by workplace fatigue
• sources of information on fatigue
• strategies and ways of managing fatigue
• ways of recognising fatigue
• workplace policies and procedures related to fatigue management and the control of factors that can contribute to fatigue and fatigue-related accidents.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

• a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations
• relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective (PPE) equipment currently used in industry
• applicable documentation, including legislation, regulations, codes of practice, workplace procedures and operation manuals.
