The Ergonomist December 2025 Article: Objective and Proactive Fatigue Risk Management

In safety-critical industrial operations, fatigue has been a contributory factor in many incidents and near misses. Predictive analytics through real-time monitoring are used to mitigate equipment and machinery failure, but what about the most valuable, yet most vulnerable part of our system? The human asset.

IHF have contributed an “Objective and Proactive Fatigue Risk Management” article to the 602nd issue of The Ergonomist magazine that was released in December 2025.

The Ergonomist is the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (CIEHF)’s magazine that contains articles, columns, news, events and opinion from CIEHF members like IHF and from people who work in fields related to ergonomics and human factors.

The “Objective and Proactive Fatigue Risk Management” article concludes that using a predictive data-driven approach — enabled by the BaselineNC™ workplace fatigue monitoring wearable — can help elevate the dangers of worker fatigue and heat stress into an enterprise-wide organisational priority, from front-line workers to the boardroom. This objective rather than subjective, and proactive rather than reactive, philosophy aims to prevent accidents and incidents and most importantly protect humans from harm.
