the contribution of fatigue‑related hazards to actual events that could have affected, or did affect, safety, with a view to determining how the effects of fatigue on each event could have been minimised.

 FRMS risk assessment procedures
       4.5 FRMS risk assessment procedures must be capable of determining the following:
(a) the probability of events occurring or circumstances arising that create a fatigue-related hazard;
(b) the potential severity of fatigue-related hazards;
(c) when the safety risks associated with paragraph (a) or (b) require mitigation.
       4.6 For subclause 4.5, the FRMS risk assessment procedures must ensure that identified fatigue-related hazards are examined in relation to the following:
(a) the relevant operational context and procedures in which the identified fatigue-related hazard arose;
(b) the probability of the fatigue-related hazard arising in those circumstances;
(c) the possible consequences of the fatigue-related hazard in those circumstances;
(d) the effectiveness of existing safety procedures and controls.

 FRMS risk mitigation procedures
       4.7 FRMS risk mitigation procedures for each fatigue-related hazards must be capable of:
(a) selecting appropriate mitigation strategies for the hazard; and
(b) implementing the selected mitigation strategies; and
(c) monitoring the implementation and effectiveness of the strategies.

    5 FRMS safety assurance procedures
       5.1 FRMS safety assurance procedures must provide for:
(a) continuous monitoring of the performance of the FRMS;
(b) the analysis of fatigue-related trends;
(c) measurements to validate the effectiveness of mitigation strategies.
       5.2 FRMS safety assurance procedures must include a formal process for the management of changes to the FRMS arising from the following:
(a) identification of changes in the operational environment that may affect FRMS;
(b) identification of changes within the AOC holder's organisation that may affect FRMS.
       5.3 The FRMS safety assurance procedures must include a formal process to assess:
(a) what impact a change mentioned in paragraph 5.2 (a) or (b) may have on the effective performance of the FRMS; and
(b) for such a change — what amendment, change or modification may be needed to the FRMS to ensure its continued effective performance.
       5.4 FRMS safety assurance procedures must provide for the continuous improvement of the FRMS, by including the following:
(a) the elimination or modification of fatigue-related risk controls that:
 (i) have had unintended negative consequences; or
           (ii) are no longer required because of changes in the AOC holder's operational or organisational environment;
(b) routine evaluations of facilities, equipment, documentation and procedures to determine their implications for fatigue-related risk management and control;
(c) identification of emerging fatigue-related risks to allow the introduction of new procedures and procedures to mitigate such risks.

    6 FRMS safety promotion procedures
       6.1 FRMS safety promotion procedures for fatigue-related hazards must include training and communication programs capable of supporting and continuously improving all elements
