Course overview
What is Fatigue Risk Management System?
Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS) is a systematic and data driven approach to managing fatigue risks. An FRMS develops a deeper collaborative understanding of the impact of fatigue within an organisations operational context and on those working within it. It aims to effectively and proactively manage identified real world fatigue risks to minimise their impact on safety.
Course Overview
Fatigue Risk Management Systems (FRMS) are a crucial safety system for airline operators. This course provides the bespoke tools for understanding fatigue risk by focusing on developing an understanding of fatigue science and the tools used to gather objective and subjective data. It will develop delegates understanding on how to develop and use an airlines’ specific fatigue metrics to assess their fatigue risks.
Who should attend?
This course is suitable for personnel involved in the management of aircrew, for whom fatigue is a risk factor. Tangible benefits have been identified by Safety Managers, Rostering Managers, Business Jet Managers and Regulatory personnel with an aircrew fatigue management remit.
Key topics
This training course will include the following topics:
- The use of scientific research in FRMS
- The use of scientific research within an airline operation
- Bespoke fatigue metrics for risk assessment and risk assurance
- How to develop a safety case
- Assessing overall effectiveness of the FRMS
Course objectives
With guidance from your UK CAA expert instructors, the delegates will gain an understanding in:
- FRMS and how it integrates within the organisations SMS
- The differences between fatigue management under SMS and under an FRMS
- A deeper understanding of fatigue research science tools used to gather objective and subjective data.
- Using fatigue metrics to conduct the fatigue assurance functions required of your FRMS
- Developing an effective reporting policy
- Common challenges in developing an effective system
- Importance of an open reporting culture
- Effective fatigue training and safety promotion
During the course, you will benefit from real-life examples of successful approaches taken by other organisations.
By the end of the course, you will be able to develop your own fatigue risk safety case and seek a variation from prescriptive limitations to develop an effective reporting policy.
Prerequisites
Delegates should be familiar with the management of fatigue in an operational environment and have a basic understanding of the ICAO SMS framework.
