NASA Fatigue Risk Management System

NASA's Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) is a comprehensive approach designed to identify, assess, and mitigate fatigue among employees, especially those working in safety-critical roles like astronauts and ground personnel. It combines scientific data, monitoring tools, and behavioral strategies to ensure individuals are sufficiently rested, reducing errors caused by tiredness. The system promotes a culture of awareness about fatigue's risks, encourages proper scheduling, and provides education on sleep health, all aimed at maintaining safety, performance, and well-being in high-stakes environments.
