Fatigue risk management for safety critical staff have been present for decades in many countries, yet fatigue remains a major contributor to accidents. FRMS processes and models have supported identification of fatigue risks and hazards in occupational groups including drivers, signallers and trackside workers.
In late 2022, in addition to existing reguatory requirements, the UK’s Network Rail introduced a requirement that all subcontractors across the entire supply chain must report their fatigue levels.
FRMSc supports operators implementing FRMS with the required biomathematical models, training and advice.
FRMSc solutions allow rail companies to demonstrate continuous improvement and undertake real-time roster analysis for fatigue risk.
FRMSc supports the management of fatigue across workforces, improving staff and passenger safety, and providing auditable occupational duty of care.
Effective fatigue management techniques in aviation can serve as a valuable model for maintaining vigilance and ensuring patient safety in healthcare. By collaborating and communicating efficiently, we can proactively mitigate errors and raise caregiving standards with confidence.
Is there a difference between fatigue and tiredness or are they different terms used to describe the same thing?
