MNZ fatigue publications

 
  “Get your sleep, reduce your risk” is the message underpinning all the fatigue management resources produced by MNZ. These resources cover most vessel types in SSM because they have the most fatigue-related accidents.

Understanding fatigue

This brochure covers what is fatigue for seafarers and how to manage it, including:
  • the importance of sleep
  • what causes fatigue
  • your legal obligations
  • strategies for getting enough sleep.
We recommend that all seafarers have a copy of this brochure, and that you share this with those you live with.
