Topic: Change Communication + Operational Awareness

Topic: Fatigue Management + Operational Judgment
Summary: Fatigue can reduce judgment, reaction time, concentration, memory, and hazard awareness long before an employee falls asleep. This issue helps employees, dispatchers, and managers recognize declining performance early, adjust the operating plan when necessary, and build a culture where stopping or resetting is treated as a professional safety decision.
