  5. TS120: Effective Fatigue Risk Management

Effective Fatigue Risk Management

TS120 | 2 days

Having made initial progress and implemented fatigue risk management, what’s next? Operators and regulators are asking, how do we ensure that fatigue risk is being effectively managed?

Since the implementation of EASA ORO.FTL, Air Operators have been operating to the EASA flight and duty time limitations and managing fatigue risk. Managers, the fatigue safety acting group (FSAG) and crew have been trained in how to meet their specific fatigue risk management responsibilities, and most operators have a crew fatigue reporting system in place.

This course will enable you to evaluate the maturity and effectiveness of fatigue risk management in your Air Operation. Practical guidance is provided on how to make improvements, including evaluating your FRM processes, engaging colleagues and embedding effective fatigue risk management.

Frequently asked questions

I have previously attended fatigue management training, why would I attend this course?

This course has been specifically designed for people experienced in fatigue risk management, who are looking to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of their program. By working through real examples of the challenges other operators have overcome, and by workshopping the hurdles you are facing, you will develop a practical action plan for how to take fatigue risk management to the next level in your operation.

We are not looking to submit an FRM for regulatory approval to work outside of ORO.FTL. Is it worth my while attending this course?

The majority of operators manage fatigue within an SMS, or an FRM, and without seeking to work outside of the limits. The course is relevant to all operators.

Fatigue risk management seems like it is for large operators – how will this course help my small operation?

Improving fatigue risk management can seem daunting, particularly for smaller operators. However, one of the key tenets of fatigue risk management is that it should be proportional to the size, nature of operations, and the level of risk exposure. Thus, fatigue risk management has comparable benefits for large and small operator.
