ALERTSAFE™
AlertSafe™ is a cloud-based rostering system that forms a vital part of a Fatigue Risk Management System.
Initially conceptualised for the healthcare industry, AlertSafe™ was developed in conjunction with the Cooperative Research Centre for Alertness, Safety and Productivity and Monash University. It models the impacts of shift work on each individual staff member during the rostering process and takes into consideration new fatigue management policies. The system generates rosters that result in maximum alertness, safety, and productivity, and have shown a 35% decrease in errors, which can result in bad customer outcomes.
AlertSafe™ is versatile and can be applied across a variety of industries including healthcare, the police force, emergency services, airlines, trucking, construction, and mining.
