FATIGUE MITIGATION Clause Samples
The Fatigue Mitigation clause is designed to address and manage the risks associated with worker fatigue on a project. It typically outlines measures such as maximum allowable work hours, mandatory rest periods, and procedures for monitoring and reporting signs of fatigue among personnel. By establishing clear guidelines and responsibilities, this clause helps ensure worker safety, maintain productivity, and reduce the likelihood of accidents or errors caused by exhaustion.

FATIGUE MITIGATION. In the event a Resident is required to work unexpectedly (i.e. was not scheduled) past 11:00 p.m., or is called into work or leaving work between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., or after completing a shift of sixteen hours or more in length the Resident may be reimbursed the cost of transportation for a round trip to the Resident’s residence or to the hospital, up to thirty -five dollars ($35) each leg of the trip. The University may impose reasonable rules to verify the use and cost of transportation under this Article.
FATIGUE MITIGATION. TRANSPORTATION The Graduate Medical Education (GME) office offers a fatigue mitigation transportation option to help ensure Residents get home safely when fatigued after work. Reimbursement is available to any Resident that elects to use a transportation service to get home instead of driving their own vehicle while fatigued. Use of service will be monitored. Residents may utilize the service of their choice (app-based or taxi) for a ride home and then use the service again to pick up their car or return to work the next day. This service is available to use any time a Resident feels fatigued at the end of their shift. Program directors will be notified if transportation for fatigue is used more than two times a month. This is so that a determination can be made as to the cause of persistent fatigue and if a schedule adjustment needs to be made. For reimbursement Residents will need proof on the receipt of going to a verifiable home address and round trip from a verifiable UCSF Fresno training site. Residents should consult the University’s Well-Being, Fatigue Mitigation and Monitoring Policy for details and restrictions.
FATIGUE MITIGATION. In the event that a Resident feels they are unable to perform their patient care duties due to fatigue, the Resident is encouraged to communicate this to senior Residents and supervising faculty, who will intercede. If a Resident is too fatigued to safely drive home, the Hospital provides sleep rooms and Residents are encouraged to remain in house to rest until they feel safe to drive. If there is no acceptable place to sleep, or if there are other circumstances necessitating that a Resident return home promptly after their shift, the Resident or their supervisor can request a taxi voucher from the Nursing Supervisor at the time of the need for transportation home.
