Information about fatigue risk management is widespread but often disconnected. Aviation regulators publish guidance in one corner. Healthcare researchers share findings in medical journals, while the agencies responsible for rail operations, air traffic controllers and nuclear reactor technicians develop solutions independently from each other.
Meanwhile, software developers, predictive modelling specialists, and shift work experts are often tackling similar problems without awareness of what's happening in other sectors or countries.
Fatigue Risk News is where I bring that information together.
Why Curate This Information?
The underlying causes of fatigue are often the same across very different industries: insufficient rest, stress, extended shifts, and irregular hours. While the daily working conditions for an air traffic controller in Delhi differ vastly from those of a mine worker in the Australian outback or a train driver in Scotland, the solutions being developed may be remarkably similar.
Consider these questions:
The information is currently too scattered, yet fatigue doesn't respect industry boundaries. Looking across different sectors helps us all identify common challenges and compare what's genuinely working in various contexts and countries.
What I Track
Fatigue Risk News tracks what's happening now: news, research, tools, and developments from across different sectors and around the world. I'm not writing textbooks or providing definitive solutions—I'm gathering and connecting the information that already exists.
I aim to deliver a reliable digest that helps people working in fatigue risk management—or anyone interested in the topic—stay informed without hunting through dozens of sources.
My coverage focuses on:
Sectors and Regulations: Fatigue risk across aviation, rail, road transport, healthcare, utilities, emergency services, and how different countries and regions are addressing the issue through policy.
Research and Innovation: The latest studies, methodologies, and strategies for mitigating workplace fatigue risk, including work from government agencies, international organisations, worker advocacy groups, and companies developing fatigue detection and prediction technologies.
Tools and Equipment: Technology being used and developed across different industries and countries—from scheduling software to wearable monitors and predictive analytics platforms.
Events: Upcoming conferences, expos, webinars, and workshops relevant to fatigue risk management.
My Goal
My hope is that Fatigue Risk News becomes a trusted resource and starting point for anyone looking to understand the fatigue risk landscape—whether you're a safety manager, researcher, regulator, technology developer, or simply interested in the field.
