Fatal Fatigue
In many industries all over the world, fatigue is a large cause of accidents and even fatalities. It is four times more likely to contribute to workplace impairment than drugs or alcohol, and 30% of all fatal crashes in Australia are linked to fatigue. The consequences of fatigued worker, who is less alert and more likely to exercise poor judgement, is a legitimate danger.

The Mining Industry
In the mining industry, workers operate heavy machinery and large haul trucks over long shift periods, conditions that make workers highly susceptible to fatigue. According to a study conducted by Caterpiller Inc., 60-65% of truck haulage accidents are fatigue related. Even with safety protocols in place to combat fatigue, mining workers are still subject to its deadly consequences. With the large number of mines in Australia, it is especially important that we understand the authentic risk of fatigue and are considering the safety of our workers. In the already dangerous work environment of mining, fatigued workers are a risk that can and should be eliminated.

NeuroSAFE
Cortex Labs has developed NeuroSAFE software to detect fatigue in workers before an accident occurs. Often times an operator may be the worst judge of how tired he or she may really be, NeuroSAFE analyses brain wave activity to accurately determine the level of fatigue in a particular worker. Recommendations and alerts are provided accordingly depending upon the brain wave analysis, and if fatigue levels are too high, the operator is advised to take a break or work a shorter shift. NeuroSAFE is a simple solution that does not interfere with worker productivity and creates safer work conditions.

Physical and Financial Costs
Fatigue related accidents are an avoidable danger in Australia’s mining industry with the implementation of Cortex Labs' NeuroSAFE technology. The mining industry can’t afford the risk of physical and financial costs of fatigue, feel safe with NeuroSAFE.
