Fatigue remains a critical challenge in the mining industry, with serious implications for both safety and productivity. According to study by Caterpillar Global Mining study that 65% of truck haulage accident happening in mining industry are due to operator fatigue (Caterpillar Global Mining, 2007. Fatigue and its contribution to haulage accidents in mining operations). This issue extends beyond occasional tiredness, representing a significant occupational risk that also leads to billions of rupees in lost productivity annually. To address this, Fatigue Management must be elevated to the level of a statutory requirement, like Safety Management Plans mandated by the Directorate General of Mines Safety (DGMS). Regularly reviewing and updating Fatigue Management Plans is essential to ensure the most effective risk management strategies are implemented, keeping pace with emerging trends and technologies. A proactive, preventative approach to fatigue is critical, moving beyond reactive measures to prevent incidents before they happen. Incorporating active Fatigue Monitoring Systems (FMS), which track operator alertness in real-time, can provide valuable data for preventing fatigue-related accidents. By embedding these systems into routine operations, the mining industry can better protect workers, enhance safety, and reduce productivity losses. Achieving optimal fatigue management is key to the industry’s goal of zero harm, ensuring a safer, more productive working environment for all.
