Welcome to this AMSA audio brief about fatigue management on domestic commercial vessels. 

This episode we're talking about fatigue - what it is, why it matters, and how it can affect people working in the maritime industry. We’ll look at how fatigue contributes to incidents, and what vessel owners and operators need to do to manage fatigue risks effectively. We’ll also walk through practical steps you can take to assess fatigue risks and put controls in place that actually work on board.
