This year's winner
This year's winner of our Demonstrated Impact Award is National Grid Grain LNG! This award recognises the team’s work on fatigue risk management. They engaged staff and developed a fatigue survey which revealed hot spots where different job roles were under strain at certain peak times. A Risk Management Plan was developed and human factors specialists have indicated that this approach could be industry-leading. Congratulations!
