Railsafety (1) Fatigue Management Plans (FMPs)
Railsafety (1) Fatigue Management Plans (FMPs) : Addressing safety from the point of view of risk management has become increasingly accepted as a way of dealing with many types of safety situations. Rather than implementing an overall prescriptive approach and running the risk of creating more problems by using the same approach in all situations, risk management allows us to identify situations in which a high degree of risk is anticipated, and then put in place a series of countermeasures that can be used to minimize the likelihood of injury or harm. In the study of fatigue management, the need to identify situations or conditions that are high risk and that might potentially lead to high-risk behaviour is considered important. Accordingly, this document is intended to apply to specific high-risk conditions in which a person could exhibit the negative or detrimental effects of fatigue. Given such conditions, the FMP should be designed to minimize the possibility of fatigue occurring, and/or counteract the detrimental effects of fatigue should it occur
