Online alarm clock for 1:48 pm
While you watch the clock for the moment to finish preparing the FIFO workers’ rest room, set the alarm for 1:48 pm so you can handle the final checks on time. That leaves a short, defined window before 2:00 pm for straightening chairs, checking the blinds and making sure personal gear has somewhere to go.
As you move around the room, the alarm page may slip behind another browser tab, but it should keep counting and sound while the browser remains active. Keep the volume high enough to hear from the doorway, and check that the browser has permission to play audio. If you close the browser or let the phone or laptop go to sleep, the alarm may not sound to tell you the FIFO rest room is due, so use a separate device alarm when you cannot keep this screen running.
Before the FIFO crew comes in around midday, check how the outdoor air feels rather than relying only on the temperature reading. Australian humidity can make a room feel close after doors have been shut, while very dry air may bring dust inside. If conditions suit, briefly air the space before 1:48 pm, then close windows and doors early enough for the room to settle before the workers arrive.
Common questions
Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?
No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?
Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.
Do I need to create an account or download anything?
No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.
Can I change the alarm sound?
Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.
