Fatigue Management
Fatigue management refers to strategies and practices aimed at reducing tiredness and improving alertness in individuals, particularly in high-risk environments like transportation and healthcare. It involves recognizing the signs of fatigue, understanding its causes, and implementing measures to prevent it, such as regular breaks, proper sleep, and workload adjustments.
Effective fatigue management can enhance safety, productivity, and overall well-being. Organizations often develop policies and training programs to educate employees about the importance of rest and the impact of fatigue on performance. Tools like fatigue risk management systems (FRMS) are also used to monitor and address fatigue-related issues systematically.
