  In the environment and the day-to-day operations of modern high-risk industries much of the attention tends to be (or better should be) on the performance of people; this can be justified through the acknowledgment that the competitive advantage of organizations and/or companies can be generated by Human Factors (HF), and therefore the effective adaption of best practices of Human Resource Management (HRM). Fatigue amongst workers in such industries has proved to be the outmost reason affecting their performance and the overall rating of the process. In this context, the approach described hereafter is focused on the offset of the interdependencies between aspects of HRM and the phenomena of fatigue; specifically, the implementation of Bayesian Networks (BNs) with the use of evidence(s) leads in a systematic manner to the projection and evaluation of fatigue. To this end, the developed model yields the quality of sleep and other more specific factors such as the non-disturbance of circadian rhythms as important parameters for the reliable evaluation of fatigue; hence these can be considered as significant aspects in the effort of strengthening the efficiency and safety of operations. The chapter concludes with interesting insights of the aforementioned tasks.
