Course Overview 

This online Fatigue Risk Management course will give you a high-level understanding of fatigue management in the aviation sector and the processes recommended to manage fatigue.

Aviation is one of the safest modes of transportation in the world. This has occurred not by chance, but by monitoring operations and identifying hazards then implementing effective controls to manage those hazards. Fatigue is now acknowledged as a hazard that predictably degrades various types of human performance and can contribute to aviation accidents or incidents. Fatigue is inevitable in a 24/7 industry because the human brain and body function optimally with unrestricted sleep at night.

This presents a significant challenge to the aviation industry with the demands of a 24/7 operating environment. Fatigue simply cannot be eliminated within the modern aviation world, and therefore must be managed in a systematic way.

Apart of our Management & Leadership course range, this course will give participants a high-level understanding of fatigue management in the aviation sector and the processes recommended to manage fatigue.

This course involves the skills and knowledge required to implement aviation fatigue risk management processes in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.

It includes identifying, controlling, monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of fatigue risk management processes as part of a safety management system (SMS). Work involves managing the effects of fatigue on operational objectives using an SMS within a variety of operational contexts within the Australian aviation industry.

This unit addresses aviation non-technical skill requirements (mental, social and personal-management abilities) related to safety management duties that complement the technical skills of aviation personnel and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.
