The Chief Inspector of Mines has, under section 49(1) of the MHSA, issued the Guideline for a Mandatory Code of Practice for Risk-Based Fatigue, as set out in the schedule to this notice.
This guideline has been developed to assist employers in achieving the objectives of risk-based fatigue management at any working place, which are to assist mines to:
- Develop strategies for controlling risks of fatigue effectively;
- Develop site specific fatigue management plans and programmes; and
- Look at factors to be considered when managing fatigue.
