CIRCADIAN’s FRMS Expertise
CIRCADIAN has broad experience in FRMS evaluation, design, development and implementation in many 24/7 industries:
Petrochemical
CIRCADIAN served as a scientific consultant to the American Petroleum Institute as it developed the ANSI/API standard for fatigue risk management in the petrochemical industry. Released in April 2010, ANSI RP-755 outlines the recommended practice for all stakeholders in the petroleum and petrochemical industries to understand, recognise and mitigate fatigue in the workplace.
Aviation
CIRCADIAN and its consortium partner DNV were recently selected competitively by EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) as the sole evaluator of FRMS for European airline FRMS submissions to EASA for the next four years. CIRCADIAN is working with diverse types of aviation carriers in the design, implementation and auditing of FRMS. CIRCADIAN are currently conducting a major study required by the US FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) on aircrew fatigue in ultra-long range (ULR) and long range flying with three airlines (American, Continental and Delta) in collaboration with two universities.
Rail
CIRCADIAN developed the first FRMS in the Canada-US railroad industry, which has been the model for FRMS implementation throughout that industry.
