fatigue risk management systems
Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS) are structured approaches designed to identify, assess, and mitigate fatigue-related risks in various industries, particularly in transportation and healthcare. These systems combine scientific research on sleep and fatigue with organizational policies to ensure that employees are fit for duty, ultimately enhancing safety and productivity.
An FRMS typically includes monitoring work schedules, providing education on fatigue, and implementing strategies to manage workload and rest periods. By fostering a culture of safety and awareness, organizations can reduce the likelihood of accidents and improve overall performance, benefiting both employees and the organization as a whole.
