Fatigue risk is now recognised worldwide as a significant operational and safety concern. In response, regulation, research, technology and organisational practice are evolving to better understand, detect and manage fatigue in real-world operations. At the same time, a growing volume of news, research and industry reporting is published each week across multiple sectors and regions.
Fatigue Risk News is an independent information and reference platform focused on fatigue risk management across safety-critical industries, including aviation, rail, maritime, healthcare, utilities and road transport. The site is being developed as a central reference point that brings this material together in one place, with an emphasis on linking to original sources and making it easier to track developments as they emerge.
