If you are new to fatigue risk management (FRM) or are expected to comply with new fatigue regulation, meeting
requirements can be daunting. This course unpacks fatigue risk management and explains how it is applied in your industry, linking fatigue science to evidence-based strategies to reduce fatigue risk from an individual and organisational perspective.
Managers will understand how to meet their specific fatigue risk management responsibilities, and the importance of having a fatigue reporting system in place.
This course will provide you with an understanding of the fundamentals of fatigue science and risk management
principles so you can manage fatigue risk relevant to your operation (e.g. type of schedules, context and regulation).

• Demonstrate the ability to systematically address a fatigue-related operational issue (scenario-based) by considering the FRM principles learned today
• Identify the next steps to begin developing FRM in your operation.
Key areas of focus
• Identifying the rationale for FRM, as opposed to simple hours of work regulation
• Understanding how FRM is applied to your operation
• Understanding the key drivers of successful fatigue reporting system

No experience of fatigue risk management is required. Ideally you have an understanding of Safety Management System (SMS) principles (for example you have attended TS02: Practical application of SMS). However, this is not mandatory.
Course details
Course format: This training is an overview course and is a blend of taught sessions, facilitated discussions and group exercises and is aimed at individuals who will become responsible for implementing or developing Fatigue Risk Management.
Course level: Foundation: Suitable for those with little or no prior experience who are looking to develop a fundamental understanding of the subject.
Assessment process: No formal assessment. Formative feedback is provided by the facilitator.
Course size: 16 persons maximum at our Aviation Safety Academy or on-site at your facility. 12 persons maximum for virtual classroom.
As part of managing operational safety, fatigue is simply another hazard. This course is designed to help you to understand how fatigue risk management differs from managing other areas of safety, and how it can be combined within your overall management system.
This course is designed for managers and supervisors, to assist them in implementing the system of support to ensure fatigue risk is managed. For your workforce, please contact us for solutions which are specifically designed for front-line personnel.
This question is explored in detail in the course. For most organisations, generic hours of work regulation is not sufficient to control fatigue risk. Just as in other areas of safety management, operational context and your specific work environment must be considered to ensure that risks are managed appropriately.
The core principles of fatigue risk management apply to all industries. Your expert facilitator will guide you through specific strategies and relevant regulations for your industry – whether that is in part 145, Air Operations, Railways or the Energy Sector.
Effective FRM provides strategies and the framework in which your employees can sleep well. Well rested employees benefit from increased wellbeing and are less likely to make fatigue-related errors. In turn, the organisations benefit from better employee retention and improved morale.
