Review: In this research project, fatigue management has been evaluated in the emergency management context, particularly in relation to the NSW Dept. of Primary Industries emergency management activities. To investigate this issue, fatigue management policies were accessed directly from emergency agencies across Australia. The research revealed that the complex interactions between fatigue issues are not well understood and that fatigue management has been developed in other fields and not tested for its appropriateness in the complex emergency management context. This study showed that a flexible risk management approach, rather than prescriptive management appproach is most appropriate. The author works at the NSW Dept of Primary Industries.
