Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS)

A Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) is a proactive framework used by organizations, especially in safety-critical industries like aviation, to identify, assess, and mitigate risks associated with fatigue. It combines policies, procedures, and tools to monitor work schedules, promote proper rest, and educate personnel on managing tiredness. The goal is to maintain high safety standards by minimizing fatigue-related errors while respecting employees’ well-being. Unlike fixed rules, FRMS adapts to changing circumstances, encouraging open communication about fatigue, and ensuring a continuous process of improvement in fatigue prevention.
