Managing fatigue

By Janice Wood · March 3, 2010 ·

Aviation insurance company USAIG and Alertness Solutions have introduced the first science-based fatigue and alertness management solution that is designed to reduce risk for aviation professionals.

The Z-Coach Game Plan is web-based and available 24/7. It focuses on the individual, providing practical tools for each person to understand and manage their personal fatigue thresholds and levels of alertness, according to USAIG officials, who explain it coaches the user on how to implement simple, but effective countermeasures to meet the challenges posed by stress, irregular work hours and the constant disruption of normal sleep habits — all things aviation professionals deal with almost every day.

Z-Coach inventor, Dr. Mark Rosekind, president and chief scientist of Alertness Solutions, has spent two decades studying the science of sleep and fatigue management.
