Increasing resilience
|
Increase fitness
|
Reduced relative work intensity for individuals
|
|
Managing fatigue—appropriate work/rest cycles
|
Reduced fatigue and risk of overtraining
|
|
Psychological screening
|
At risk, individuals may be removed prior to exposure or proactive, targeted interventions are put in place
|
|
Injury management/rehabilitation
|
Proper injury management, particularly in the form of early intervention will reduce the duration of injury and possibly related immune changes
|
|
Working in the heat/smoke
|
Appropriate PPC selection for the task
|
Reduced thermal strain of workers
|
|
Pre-cooling of workers
|
Reduced thermal strain during work events possibly due to lower peak T
c
|
|
Post-incident cooling
|
Reduce inflammation to resting state as soon as possible following work. Reduce T
c rapidly to baseline levels
|
|
Appropriate work/rest cycles
|
Minimising T
c rise and subsequent inflammatory activity
|
|
Sleep deprivation
|
Cognitive behaviour therapy
|
Individuals demonstrating sleeping disorders may improve the quality and duration of sleep
|
|
Sleep hygiene
|
Individuals will have better strategies for managing sleep in the field and during deployments
|
|
Screening for sleep disorders
|
Individuals can be targeted for interventions
|
|
Rostering for rest periods
|
Reduced fatigue of possibly at-risk individuals
