Fatigue Management
Because safety doesn’t sleep.
Fatigue in safety-critical environments
At Morson Vital, we believe safety starts long before a shift begins and fatigue management is where it starts.
Working in safety-critical industries demands more than skill; it demands alertness, focus, and care.
That’s why we’ve embedded fatigue management into everything we do, from workforce scheduling and rostering to digital health monitoring and on-site supervision.
Our commitment is simple: every worker goes home safe, every day, physically and mentally.
Intelligent fatigue management
We take a data-driven, human-first approach to fatigue management, combining insight, innovation and action.
In rail, infrastructure, and energy sectors, fatigue isn’t just tiredness, it’s a risk factor.
Long hours, irregular shifts, and demanding environments can impact concentration, reaction time, and judgement.
Without proactive management, fatigue can lead to incidents, errors, and long-term health issues.
Digital Scheduling & Risk Prediction
Using our PeopleSoft workforce management system, we model and monitor worker hours, rest periods, and competencies. Ensuring every shift meets fatigue risk thresholds before deployment.
Fit for Work Health Monitoring
Through our Fit for Work platform, workers complete real-time digital check-ins before and after every shift, reporting fatigue levels, health status, and readiness to work. This data gives managers instant visibility and supports early interventions.
Training & Awareness
We equip supervisors, planners, and workers with the knowledge to identify and report fatigue-related risks. Our training programmes emphasise shared responsibility, building a culture where raising fatigue concerns is encouraged, not penalised.
Continuous Review & Compliance
Fatigue data is continually reviewed and analysed against Network Rail, RSSB, and HSE guidance. Our reporting systems provide complete transparency for clients and regulators alike.
