Introduction
Fatigue may be termed more than feeling sleepy or drowsy thus, it can be elaborated as the mental state of feeling exhausted. Thus, it can be inferred that an exhausted employee cannot perform efficiently. This may deteriorate the quality of work health and safety within the work premises. This can mainly occur if a worker works for more than his duty hours. There are several factors which explain why fatigue can occur and this may be related to work or a combination of stress and overtime. This study sheds some light on the necessity of fatigue risk assessment by elaborating the terminology and highlighting the areas which lack in information. The study shall also try to suggest some ways so that experts can take it under consideration and provide a good fatigue analysis plan.
Assessment 1
Part A
Current scenario
Fatigue management within a workplace is very important however, fatigue level cannot be measured in such a large scale (Primeau and Kashia, 2018). This is because majority of the workers are hesitant to express about their fatigue. They might feel expressing about this concern shall bring bad name to them. Another reason may be that there is no standard instrument, methodology or procedure that can help us in measuring. This is also because of the broad spectrum of reasons that causes fatigue within a worker. However, if we want to implement fatigue risk management technique, we must first identify the main reasons causing the fatigue. Working overtime can be taken for instance. There are various journals, books and reports illustrating the cause and nature of fatigue (Berneking et al., 2018). Experts can take help from this and develop a proper fatigue risk management. Moreover, employees can also report to the concerned authority if he feels tired. Thus the management authorities can take reasonable steps in compliance with the concerned legislation
Legal framework
As per the present conditions, the government of Australia has identified fatigue risk management as one of most efficient risks hence the government have issued certain rules and regulations in compliance with fatigue management. The fatigue risk management for heavy vehicle driver fatigue. As per this legislation all of them have been suggested to take ample amount of rest before joining their work. The drivers are suggested not to drive more than 10 hours at a stretch. The government has built might rest rooms for the drivers.
	Risks
	Impacts
	Legal Frame works
	Drowsiness or feeling sleepy while Driving
	Low decision making capability as a result the driver can get injured
	“ Australian Road Rules 1999”
	Staying Awake for a long term
	Feeling sleepy as a result the Driver has less ability to make decisions. Finally, the vehicle meets with an accident
	“Heavy Vehicle Regulation 2014”
	Headaches
	Low vision and the driver would not be able  to concentrate
	“ Workplace Health and safety Act, 2011”
	Slow Reaction times
	Impacts the key decision making time. This can result in the driver becoming less productive.
	“Heavy Vehicle Regulation 2014”
Review of the current situation
Presently, there is no such tool available that can help in managing the issues of fatigue in an industrial level. This is mainly because of lack of knowledge and proper fatigue management skill. However, information about fatigue and its symptoms are present in documented form thus; experts can take help from them and implement proper risk management strategy in compliance with risk management. Quantitative analysis is required to make a research in compliance to the fatigue risk management successful (Buysse, 2018). Although experts have suggested some strategies for dealing with fatigue yet, vast improvements are required in this field to manage fatigue level in such a large scale
Risk associated with fatigue
As commented by Patterson et al. (2018), there are numerous risks associated with improper fatigue risk management in a workplace. Hence, it becomes very essential to manage the risks related to fatigue management. Therefore some of the steps, which an expert can follow while designing a proper fatigue risk management have been mentioned.
 Firstly, it becomes very essential for the concerned professional to analyze and foresee all the underlying factors that contribute to fatigue within a workplace. Obvious signs of fatigue shall not be visible in most of the cases during this phase; core analysis of the visible scenarios can be made.
Secondly, monitor the working schedule of the employees. Make sure that they do not overstrain themselves, they should get at least 10 hours of rest before the next schedule begins (Pair and Somerall, 2018).
Thirdly monitor the job demands, some of the jobs may require constant concentration over a long period of time. Review the work procedure of the employees and make necessary changes accordingly.
Last but not the least monitor the sleep pattern of this people and suggest them to make proper utilization of the rest time.
Implementation of organizational fatigue risk management
Fatigue is one of the most important aspects to be considered in a workplace as it impairs the ability of a worker to do his work effectively (James et al. 2018). Constantly monitoring the consequences of fatigue can help to reduce the workplace health hazard and this is known as fatigue risk management systems. Hence it is required to introduce an effective fatigue risk management driver system. As commented by Morris et al. (2018), effective fatigue management can be achieved by implementing several factors some of which are mentioned below.
· Proper education and training on the effects of fatigue.
· Develop proper’s strategies that can help to develop alertness and curb the risk associated with fatigue.
· By identifying the risks that can be associated with a particular type of fatigue.
· By implementing proper fatigue management strategies.
Role of individuals in fatigue risk management
A typical workspace contains huge amount of risks in compliance with Work health and safety. Therefore, each and every employee starting from senior managers to the low level employees are responsible for maintaining the work health and safety. However, as commented by Nuijten et al. (2018), the roles and responsibilities of employee are mentioned below.
	Designation 
	Roles 
	Person who is conducting the business 
	 The main roles and responsibilities of a person of a person who is conducting the business are listed as follows.
· Provision and maintenance of workplace so that it is insured from workplace health and risks.
· Provisions of maintaining workplace safety.
· Monitoring the health condition of each and every worker and ensure that they do not work overtime.
· To ensure that all the workers are working on alternate shifts.
	officers
	Officers, managers and other high officials are expected to look into the matter and provide proper logical solution in compliance to a raised issue regarding fatigue. They must ensure that work within the premises takes place in compliance with proper health and safety standards
	workers
	The workers within an organization are expected to take due care about them self and address their own health concerns. They are expected not to overstrain themselves and report to the higher officials if they find any case of fatigue. They should regularly visit the health care centers and perform their fitness test
Investigation procedure for fatigue risk management
Proper documentation about fatigue risk management in a large industrial setting might not be available in a proper documented format Jain et al. (2018). Hence the experts are requested to make necessary adjustments based on the nature of the job. However, as commented by Nuijten et al. (2018), some of the steps have been mentioned which the experts can follow in order to investigate about the proper risk management.
