INTRODUCING OUR UNIQUE 24/7 LIFESTYLE PLANNERS
One easy to use safety and wellness tool - the leading science based way for companies, employees & families to manage safety and shift work lifestyle
We have developed unique lifestyle planners (24/7 work adaptation guidance tools) that are customised to, and designed around, employees 'actual work patterns. Our planners:
- Flag roster-based fatigue zones
- Enable employees to manage fatigue risks of their actual work patterns. Our tools recommend appropriate use and timing of top coping strategies typically covered in good 24/7 lifestyle training
Coupling 10 top shift work adaptive strategies' use and timing to actual work schedules helps ensure employees' ongoing capacity to effectively and easily manage 24/7 lifestyle. This eliminates their guess work on use of training.
The combination of 1 & 2 equips employees with fatigue management awareness and ongoing real time means to adjust to their actual work schedules. The planners, which may be used to supplement class room training or on a stand-alone basis, come in two formats:
- Family Lifestyle Planner (single page wall calendar like format): Enables worker and family members to see at a glance the work/rest roster cycle for one year and the suggested use and timing of coping strategies.
- Pocket Planner: Enables the worker to readily access this information throughout his/her duty period.
