Abstract
The article presents the assumptions of process changes for a worker fatigue management system on the example of coal miners. The main factors influencing fatigue during works performed in underground coal mines are identified and can be categorised into the following groups: microclimate, noise and its components, vibration, air composition and air movement (flow), pressure changes, lighting, radiation, dust, machinery and technical measures, psychosocial factors including stress arising from a feeling of own life being threatened and others, such as work organisation, private life stressors, individual factors. Among the factors causing fatigue the travel time to and from work was particularly important. The proposed measures regarding fatigue management are based on an analysis of the relationship between pairs of variables, where for each pair the direction of the impact of connecting two given factors on fatigue and its strengths is set. This resulted in the matrix of factors influencing fatigue among employees, which in turn allowed to make assumptions for the worker fatigue management system. Within the concept of the fatigue management system a subdomain of the recognition of psychomotor states of workers as indicators of the fatigue levels was proposed.
