Systems and methods for assessing equipment operator fatigue and using fatigue-risk-informed safety-performance-based systems and methods to replace or supplement prescriptive work-rest regulations

A method for assessing fatigue risk of an individual, the method comprising:

• receiving at least one of current work-rest pattern and sleep data of an individual;
• combining the at least one of the current work-rest pattern and the sleep data with previous data related to the individual;
• generating a fatigue risk assessment result from the combination of the at least one of the current work-rest pattern and the sleep data and previous data related to the individuals;
• generating a diagnostic assessment report on the causation of any excessive fatigue risk;
• generating a corrective intervention plan for reducing excessive fatigue risk of the individual based on at least one of the fatigue risk assessment result and the diagnostic assessment report;
• and
• outputting at least one of the fatigue risk assessment result, the diagnostic assessment report, and the corrective intervention plan in a user-readable format to a user.
