overview
Online microlearning course. You won't feel it coming — 17 hours awake affects you about as much as a 0.05 blood alcohol reading. Sleep debt and microsleeps, the risk factors beyond late nights — demand, heat, second jobs, the drive home — the roster benchmarks in the model Code, reporting fatigue by the numbers instead of 'I'm a bit tired', and the duties and protections under WHS law.
who it’s for
- Shift workers & early starts
- Drivers — the commute counts
- Rosterers & supervisors
- Anyone juggling a second job
what’s covered
01
You won't feel it coming
3 topics- 17 hours awake ≈ 0.05 BAC — the comparison the Code itself makes
- Sleep debt and microsleeps — the seconds you lose without choosing to
- What recovery actually takes (one long sleep doesn't repay a week)
02
Where it comes from
3 topics- It isn't just late nights — demand, heat, noise, emotional load
- Your body clock, and why you can't sleep the tide away
- The drive home is part of the shift — most fatigue crashes happen close to home
03
What you actually do
3 topics- There is no PPE for tired — where fatigue controls sit in the hierarchy
- The roster benchmarks in the model Code — hours, breaks, back-to-backs
- Report by the numbers: hours awake, hours slept, hours driven
04
The law is on your side
3 topics- Two duties, one shift — the business's and yours
- You are allowed to stop when the risk is serious
- Why training alone is never the fix — the roster is the control
how it works
FormatTap-through microlearning — ~1 hr · online. Built for phones, works everywhere. Start on smoko, pause, pick it up on the train.
PracticeScenario cards drop you into real situations along the way — you make the call a worker actually faces, then get the reasoning, straight up.
ChecksQuick knowledge checks in every module. Not exam-style — the course makes sure it sticks before it moves on.
You leave withA certificate of completion from an RTO-crafted course, issued instantly and logged in the Nexa Compliance Hub — with refresher reminders.
questions
No. This is an awareness course — practical, RTO-authored online training that issues a certificate of completion. It is not a nationally recognised unit of competency.
~1 hr · online. Delivery: online, self-paced. Start, pause, and finish whenever suits.
It's both. You have a duty to take reasonable care and turn up fit for work — but fatigue is a workplace hazard under WHS law, and the business must manage the risk it creates through rosters, hours and job demands. The Code is blunt that you can't fix a fatigue-generating roster with a toolbox talk.
It's awareness training for any workplace, not accredited heavy-vehicle fatigue management under the HVNL. If you run trucks, it's a strong foundation for the whole crew — but it doesn't replace BFM/AFM accreditation where that applies.
