About this site

Purpose
Section titled “Purpose”The site helps organisations, planners, and competent persons understand:
- Core fatigue management concepts and fatigue risk management system (FRMS) principles
- Practical approaches to fatigue risk assessment
- Shift work, night work, and roster-related fatigue risk
- Fatigue risk index (FRI) methods and model limitations
- Duty, travel, commute, and door-to-door time as fatigue planning concepts
- Sector context for operational workforces — see industry overviews below
Content is written in plain English and cites primary public sources where factual claims are made.
Current scope
Section titled “Current scope”This site focuses on shift-based, site-based, and operational workforces, including:
- Rail
- Construction
- Infrastructure and field operations
- Utilities, highways, and maintenance
- Healthcare shift work (cautious, general guidance only)
Aviation and road logistics (including driver hours, tachographs, and fleet compliance) are not currently covered. Those sectors have specialist regulatory frameworks that require separate treatment.
