SAFTE-FAST

Advancing Fatigue Risk Management with Innovative Technology

safety and performance through FRMS

Leading Innovation in Fatigue Risk Management

IBR is one of the world’s leading experts in Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS), a data-driven and science-based process that allows for continuous monitoring and management of safety risks associated with fatigue-related error.

Integration and Improvement

FRMS is part of a repeating performance improvement process that can be integrated into a Safety Management System (SMS) with continuous safety enhancements gained by identifying and addressing fatigue risk across time and changing physiological and operational circumstances.

Real-World Application

IBR’s scientists focus on translating the knowledge developed with basic laboratory fatigue science and applying it in the ‘real world’ by studying individuals and groups in their natural work and social environments.

Pioneering Fatigue Management

Decoding Human Fatigue with SAFTE-FAST

Fatigue needs to be measured and connected to the conditions that contribute to safety risk. IBR President Dr. Steven Hursh invented the SAFTE (Sleep, Activity, Fatigue & Task Effectiveness) model of human fatigue and circadian variation and developed the Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool (FAST) as a user-friendly application of the model.

Global Validation and Use

The US Department of Defense considers SAFTE-FAST to be the most complete, accurate, and operationally practical model currently available.

It has been validated by the US Department of Transportation and used to guide work and rest regulations by:

Global Application

Through our SAFTE-FAST software program, IBR works with a wide range of global, round-the-clock, safety-sensitive companies and agencies to help identify and address fatigue factors across time and changing circumstances.

Beyond Modeling

Comprehensive Fatigue Risk Management

A Comprehensive Process

Of course, FRMS is more than modeling. It is a management process built on organizational policies and procedures involving an integrated network of people and resources for an overall understanding of fatigue risk and mitigation on a company-wide basis.

Systematic Approach for All Staff

All company personnel – flight and cabin crew, maintenance, executive management and administrative staff – can benefit from gaining knowledge of fatigue management principles and practices to facilitate a systematic approach.
