How to Design a Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS)

CIRCADIAN has nearly 30 years of experience in developing and implementing Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS). An FRMS is a data-driven, risk-informed, safety performance-based proactive program to mitigate the risks of fatigue in 24/7 operations. An FRMS fits within an organisation’s overall health and safety program to create a process that will continually monitor and mitigate fatigue risk.

7 Key characteristics of a successful Fatigue Risk Management System:

1. Science Based – Supported by established peer-reviewed science
2. Data Driven – Decisions based on collection and objective analysis of data
3. Cooperative – Designed together by all stakeholders
4. Fully Implemented – System-wide use of tools, systems, policies, procedures
5. Integrated – Built into the corporate safety & health management systems
6. Continuously Improved – Progressively reduces risk using feedback, evaluation & modification
7. Owned – Responsibility accepted by senior corporate leadership
