The program aims to prevent fatigue-related risks and costs by implementing a fatigue risk management system (FRMS) and cultivating a corporate safety culture that values an alert and productive workforce. The NAFMP provides drivers with the necessary knowledge to maintain a state of alertness that includes sleep hygiene, nutrition, exercise, mindfulness and warm relationships and the necessary skills to apply that knowledge while on duty including recognizing objective signs of fatigue. The NAFMP recommends that FRMSs include sound scheduling practices, a sleep disorder management program and fatigue detection technologies.
The NAFMP Pod is the official podcast of the North American Fatigue Management Program. Listen to conversations about managing driver fatigue with professional drivers, motor carriers, solution providers and other fatigue management experts.
