Abstract
Any work that disrupts the duration, quality or timing of sleep can pose a significant fatigue-related challenge. Fatigue risk management systems (FRMSs) are a set of processes that combine scientific knowledge with operational experience. They can be used to improve management of fatigue-related risk in operations with or without prescriptive hours of work limits or to operate outside the prescriptive regulations. An FRMS comprises two connected closed-loop systems. The first loop comprises FRMS processes, including the ongoing monitoring of a range of data sources to identify fatigue-related hazards, the assessment of risk the hazard poses, the implementation of controls and mitigations to manage the fatigue-related risk, and the monitoring of the effectiveness of the mitigations. The second loop comprises the safety assurance processes and focuses on the overall effectiveness and continual improvement of the FRMS. All FRMS processes are detailed in an organization’s FRMS policy and documentation and are supported by training and promotion activities, which are overseen by a group of individuals within an organization with responsibility for the FRMS.
