Fatigue is a major problem in our industry and is the #1 contributing factor of the Dirty Dozen.   The main reason for this is, fatigue makes it easier for the other 11 factors to occur.

Everyone is talking how a Fatigue Management System is required but it has limited value because it tries to ensure that the person doesn't work too long and they have time for adequate rest.  But unfortunately some will still come to work fatigued and sometimes for reasons other than lack of sleep.

Since 1993, In the Mines of Australia they have discovered a means of answering that vital question, "Can they do it Safely"? 

Read the the PDF below to see how it's done and to get a better understanding of how it works.   I believe that Aviation could also benefit from such a Safety tool.
