The Fresh Air Team consists of specialists with a wealth of scientific and operational expertise. This combination means that the solutions we develop for our clients are practical, operationally appropriate and based on a sound understanding of the science of fatigue and alertness management.

Fresh Air Alertness Management helps safety-critical organisations to manage workforce fatigue and alertness. We specialise in helping organisations to develop effective arrangements for managing workforce fatigue, that are not only compliant with all regulatory requirements, but also demonstrate industry best practice in this area.

Having gained much of our fatigue risk management experience in the aviation industry, Fresh Air was set up to enable organisations working in other safety-critical industries to benefit from the advances made by aviation. Our clients work in rail, aviation, oil and gas, road transport and the emergency services.

For the rail industry, we audit arrangements for managing fatigue to ensure compliance with ORR guidance, as well as the Network Rail Fatigue Standard (NR/L2/OHS/003).

Fresh Air’s team also provides a range of other services designed to help manage workforce alertness. These include:

  • Providing training on fatigue and alertness management. We specialise in delivering impactful and engaging workshops that challenge existing attitudes and change the culture around fatigue

  • Collecting and analysing data from fatigue surveys

  • Using bio-mathematical models to analyse roster patterns

  • Conducting fatigue audits to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and cross-industry good practice

  • We also work as Expert Witnesses in legal proceedings where fatigue is suspected to have been a contributory factor.

Background: The regulatory authorities of many safety-critical industries now require their operators to take a more scientific approach to the management of employee fatigue. 

Typically this begins with developing a Fatigue Risk Management Plan. But the challenge for many companies is to put this plan into practice, which means having a team of managers who understand the scientific principles of fatigue risk management and who are capable of executing the plan on a daily basis.
