However experts in human fatigue can assess the probability that an incident or accident was caused by fatigue using well established peer reviewed science.
FACTS captures the expertise of leading experts in fatigue/sleep and circadian physiology and transportation and industry incident investigation to provide you an expert online system.
FACTS is a software program which estimates the probability of whether a person was or was not impaired by fatigue at the time of an accident or incident [1]. If there were several people involved, separately entering the data for each person will help you determine which individual(s), if any, were, or were not, fatigued impaired at the time of the accident.
Because fatigue impairment is a complex interaction of multiple causal factors, FACTS combines the available data related to each factor to provide an overall fatigue impairment probability. The more answers you provide, and the more accurate these answers are will determine the degree of reliability of the calculated overall probability of fatigue impairment.
FACTS is not designed to be used, nor is permitted to be used at any time or in any way, in the litigation of accidents and incidents where fatigue impairment is alleged by a party to the action (Contact us at info@circadianaustralia.com.au to obtain the Conditions of Use). CIRCADIAN does not represent or warrant that the calculated overall probability of fatigue impairment derived by FACTS rises to the level of a reasonable degree of scientific or medical certainty required by a court of law, since it is not designed to consider all the relevant evidence that may be available in a litigated case. FACTS is specifically designed for statistical assessments of fatigue impairment in a population of people or employees involved in incidents, accidents or other events. As such it can serve as a useful tool in data-driven Fatigue Risk Management Systems.
CIRCADIAN® offers your company a way to safely collect, analyse, and securely store you own fatigue risk data by licensing your own dedicated secure corporate web-based FACTS system and secure dedicated corporate FACTS database. At your request, CIRCADIAN® will tailor the site to reflect your own corporate terminology (e.g. mine/haulage trucks or refinery/control room, etc.) and your own logo/color design.
Your Dedicated Corporate Secure FACTS™ System allows you to:
• Keep track of all incidents/accidents/procedural deviations across multiple corporate worksites using your own secure corporate FACTS website.
• Analyse each for fatigue causation probability by using the scientifically-validated expert FACTS™ system.
• Analyse at your option the strength of FRMS defenses at your site using a special expert assessment tool, and determine which defense(s) may be weakened and contributing to the causation of your fatigue – related incidents/accidents.
• Store all your corporate FACTS inputs and results in a secure database.
• Use the dedicated secure database to analyse and track your fatigue-related incidents/accidents.
Hosted by CIRCADIAN®’s secure servers, you’ll be able to store and access a database of your own accumulated incident investigations and undertake your own statistical analyses. CIRCADIAN® creates a secure password protected URL which it can issue to your company’s managers, as well, at your request, create distinct ID’s and passwords to group the input in the database for future analysis and comparison.
As a corporate licensor, you will have unlimited access to the site with no restrictions on usage. Your dedicated corporate secure web-hosted version of FACTS™ can be customised to use the specific language, technical terms and accepted practices specific to your corporate operations. For example, we can modify the data input questions so that they are appropriate to the industry, company, and employee occupations. The user may also specify other features such as database categories and analytical abilities.
