Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS)
Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS) are now the globally-accepted standard for managing the risk of employee fatigue in safety-sensitive businesses, including aviation, petrochemicals and rail. New laws, regulations, and ANSI standards continue to be published that require more and more companies in a variety of industries to design and implement an FRMS. For example:
- Aviation: President Obama signed H.R. 5900 into law on August 1, 2010, requiring every US airline to develop an FRMS plan by October 31, 2010.
- Oil/Petrochemical: The American Petroleum Institute (API) published ANSI Standard RP-755 in 2010 requiring all US refining and petrochemical operations to implement a comprehensive FRMS.
- Other 24/7 Operations, including railroads, trucking companies, and power plants are facing setting new regulations and standards that will require FRMS implementation in increasing numbers of companies every day.
The fast-past adoption of FRMS has taken many industries by surprise and left them in need of an effective plan to address fatigue.
