Fatigue. Responsibility. Safety.

In today’s 24/7 business with high productivity demands and increasing cost pressures, fatigue is an existing human factors hazard. Fatigue as a defined type of tiredness is associated with any type of shift work that impairs human performance capabilities.

The results of human factor fatigue may be costly human errors, financial losses and even accidents. To minimise this, new regulations, best industry practices and scientific research provide new strategies to cope with increasing safety and productivity demands.

Since human fatigue is a known safety hazard, new regulations require airlines and other service providers to manage this hazard as any other risk. Regulations make the organisation and the individual employee responsible to control this risk in order to assure safe operations. However, limited experience is available how to manage fatigue risk more effectively than before.

In addition to the regulatory requirement to manage the risk of human fatigue, regulations require operators to offer fatigue management training. Beside the point that this is a legal requirement, it makes sense to understand what the causes of fatigue in your organisation are, how to manage this and how to deal with shift work as an individual.

Many industries have to work around the clock or even around the world. But most organisations forgot to explain their employees how to deal with a work live deviating from the natural sleep-/ wake-rhythm. Learn more at smartshiftwork.com.

 Methodical. Systematic. Measurable.

The evolution in managing shift work today is the Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS), as promoted by the aviation authorities ICAO and EASA. FRMS is a smart management strategy where productivity can be increased and human fatigue risk reduced at the same time, if done right.

Adopted safety management processes are methodically applied to manage your shift work according your operational characteristics and its associated fatigue risks. Operational experience and data, as well as scientific knowledge are systematically used in an ongoing FRMS. Managed in a system approach all factors and activities are coordinated, leading to measurable improvements.

For many organisations management of human fatigue has traditionally been understood to be subjective, political and expensive. So consider to gain the competences that your organisation can benefit from the evolutionary FRMS strategy to manage human fatigue data-driven, measurable and effective.
