Why operators use it
We use FAT-04 to test whether fatigue and fitness-to-drive controls work in real operations, not merely whether the business has records stored in a folder.
Fatigue and fitness controls can fail even when a roster, work record or declaration exists. A schedule may be unrealistic, a record may be incomplete, a driver may not feel safe to report, a delay may be absorbed by unsafe pressure, an alert may be ignored, a site/customer/prime constraint may recur, or an action may be marked complete without fixing the underlying control. FAT-04 provides a structured, proportionate way to look for those failures and act early.
