Traffic is high, not enough staff , lack of proper supervsion , fatigue, . and adding commercial pressure also, are not a good combination .
When performing risk assessments, consider interactions between different safety issues (e.g. potential lack of qualified staff and fatigue) that are relevant to their activities or operations.

o Emphasise, at all levels, the importance of fostering a positive safety culture that
encourages staff to report occurrences and hazards with confidence.
