WA Branch AGM & Breakfast Meeting Presentation: Systems of work for managing fatigue Presented by Kate Ponton In the maritime environment, it is important to continually address crew endurance to maintain safety, performance, morale and wellbeing. The sustainment of crew endurance and many of its risk factors are interlinked with managing fatigue which can be affected by work schedules, body clock stability, stress and workload, environmental stressors, physical conditioning and health and nutrition. Some of the main maritime crew endurance risk factors and issues will be presented, along with tools that can be used to evaluate fatigue and fatigue risk. Kate Ponton is a Certified Professional Ergonomist who has worked with the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) since 2006 in submarine related human factors research. Kate’s research experience is broad. Her initial work was focused on submarine combat systems researching usability and principles of design, mental workload measures and exploring the metrics afforded by eye tracking technology. Subsequent work has focused on the application of human systems integration (HSI) processes to minimise human related risks in the future submarine program. Under the broad spectrum of HSI, her recent work aims to understand crew endurance and habitability and related design drivers for long duration missions. Join us for the WA AGM!
