If you are new to fatigue risk management (FRM) or are expected to comply with new fatigue regulations, 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).
Delivered exclusively for your company
