Using Shift Planner for Fatigue Management

Proactive Fatigue Management is crucial, and Gather's Shift Planner empowers teams to:

Gain insights and receive alerts for each shift.
Mitigate Fatigue risks by proactively assigning Risk Assessments to individual workers.

Step by step instructions:

This screen allows creation of up to 100 Shift Records.
All fields are mandatory (although specific requirements may vary based on company configuration).

Select a shift and add the required People Profile.
After adding the relevant People Profiles to the shift, the Fatigue calculation will automatically update.
Review the Exceedance column to identify potential issues.

When planning shifts with Exceedances, it's recommended to add a Fatigue Assessment.
- These assessments are mandatory on the Shift Record and trigger authorization emails upon completion.
Shifts can still be created with Exceedances, but a warning will be displayed.

For more information on Fatigue Assessments and alerts, please refer to our following article:

Fatigue Risk Assessment and Alerts

Conducting Fatigue Risk Assessments

Table rows highlight for each category with a warning icon () when values exceed specific thresholds:
- Working hours in the last 7 days > 60
- Working hours in the next 7 days > 60
- Over 12 working hours in a single shift
- 14 or more hours door-to-door
- Over 13 consecutive days of working
- Fatigue Score of 35 or more (day shift)
- Fatigue Score of 45 or more (night shift)
- Risk Score of 1.6 or more
- Under 12 hours rest between shifts
The last category highlights with a blocker icon () when there's a clash with another planned Shift Record.
If no Fatigue analysis is available for a Resource, the Exceedance column displays a locked icon ().
