Who is responsible for FRM?

FRM is a joint responsibility between the individual and organisation. Sleep can
be affected by factors at work and outside of work (stress, commuting time,
illness, lifestyle). The organisation needs to ensure schedules and the
environment are optimal for sleep and individuals are responsible to use
recovery time (before a block of work and between shifts) to obtain sufficient
sleep and employ strategies to reduce fatigue risk. The following are some
examples of work-related and individual factors that affect fatigue. Work-related:
• Working pattern (start and end times, consecutive number of shifts, rotating vs
f ixed patterns) • Workload and nature of tasks • Rapid turnarounds (inadequate
recovery between shifts) • Overtime and on-call arrangements • Environmental
conditions • Access to food and water • Safety culture (just culture is a subset) •
Sleep environment Individual: • Sleep environment • Sleep/alertness strategies •
Commute • Health • Domestic and social commitments • Sleep disorders •
Illness
