Fatigue risk management and hazard control in aviation

As a crucial part of the Safety Management System (SMS), Fatigue Risk Management is a data-driven approach which continuously monitors and manages fatigue-related safety risks based upon scientific principles and knowledge. It ensures relevant personnel of the airline industry to perform at adequate levels of alertness.

One of the promising advantages of FRM is an increase of productivity of crew members while reducing fatigue risk and keeping costs and complexity to a minimum. This article will focus more on ways to control fatigue and Hazards in the aviation sector

5. Confirmation and follow-up
Confirming the use and application of what is needed and necessary is also important in risk management when aviation is concerned. Every action must follow all the stated and routed protocol all the time.
