Fatigue Risk Assessments (FRA)

​A Fatigue Risk Assessment identifies primary risk factors that contribute to overall fatigue risk and involves assessments and surveys with a sample population of employees onsite. Examples of risk factors involve the following:

      • Shift patterns and how they impact circadian rhythms
      • How breaks are organized
      • What countermeasures are offered to employees for fatigue mitigation
      • Commute times for employees
      • Hydration and nutrition options during shift
      • Temperatures in work environments
      • Cursory review of employee health issues for risks to “fitness for duty”
      • Additional factors related to worker lifestyle

Impairment training & consultation

If reasonable suspicion of potential drug or alcohol misuse exists in the workplace, employees must have well-trained supervisors available to recognize and distinguish behaviors related to alcohol or chemical misuse compared to other types of impairments, such as fatigue. SomaHive offers training to provide supervisory skills to accurately recognize these behaviors.

Leadership Development & training

We offer a unique behavioral and safety leadership program that is geared towards improving the safety and productivity of any organization. The program was developed by Dr. Lori Guasta, a recognized researcher and instructor with industry experience who specializes in organizational behavior and safety leadership. The program covers four major topic areas: 1) Behavior Profiling; 2) Leadership Development & Visibility; 3) Organizational Strategies for Safety and Health; and 4) Creating a Positive Safety Culture.
