Fatigue is best classified as an internal threat. An internal threat is one that is part and parcel of the individual and the individual brings it with him/her to the workplace. Fatigue, stress and illness would all be classified as internal threats.

A latent threat is one that is not obvious and usually not identified until after the event. Like poorly worded or ambiguous descriptions in a manual, or poor placement of controls or switches in a cockpit.
