As a crucial part of the Safety Management System (SMS), FRM is a data-driven approach which continuously monitors and manages fatigue-related safety risks based upon scientific principles and knowledge. It ensures relevant personnel of the airline industry to perform at adequate levels of alertness. One of the promising advantages of FRM is an increase of productivity of crew members while reducing fatigue risk and keeping costs and complexity to a minimum. Furthermore, the entire company can benefit from a higher level of safety. Based on ICAO FRM standards our training course delivers an effective regulatory oversight of fatigue risk management and provides the participants with practical tools for integrating the FRM in an SMS. After completion of this training course you will understand how to implement FRM and assess relevant risks. Moreover, you will learn what FRM consists of, how it works, how it improves performance as well as the difficulties you may face during and after implementation.

Prerequisites
Due to the fact that FRM is an integrated part of SMS, participants should be acquainted with SMS background. It would be helpful if the participant already works for a company that has, or is in the process of implementing, an SMS. Furthermore participants should be familliar with the organization's schedule and operations. General knowledge about aviation legislation, flight duty time regulations and possible union agreements is also required.
