Lays the foundation on which SMS functions.
Risk Management - ANSWER Has two elements: hazard identification % risk
assessment/mitigation.
, Hazards are conditions or objects with potential to cause harm, damage or reduce
functionality of personnel/equipment.
sleep inertia - ANSWER a condition resulting in impaired alertness (rarely exceeds
