As of July 1st 2018, the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator has implemented a change in the training requirements for road transport operators, schedulers and drivers.
The new fatigue subjects provide drivers, schedulers, supervisors and managers with information critical to effectively manage the risk of fatigue in road transport operations. NHVR have released the following subjects to meet the new requirements:
TLIF0005 – Apply a fatigue risk management system (replaces unit TLIF2010) – Drivers
TLIF0006 – Administer a fatigue risk management system (replaces unit TLIF3063) – Management/Schedulers
This training program is approximately 4 – 6 hours depending on an individual?s prior knowledge of the industry and learning needs.
On completion, participants are competent in the management of driver fatigue and aware of all compliance requirements.
On successful completion of the course participants receive a Statement of Attainment in TLIF0005 Apply a fatigue risk management system.
About Fatigue Management
Driver fatigue, defined as driving while feeling sleepy, physically or mentally tired, or lacking energy, is a major heavy vehicle safety hazard. Not getting enough sleep, driving at night, and being awake for a long time are the main causes of fatigue. Understand the rules and requirements of fatigue management.
Fatigue Management Exemptions
Fatigue management exemptions (permits and notices) enable operators and drivers to apply for work and rest hours, work diary, and record keeping exemptions.
Fatigue Management Exemptions – NHVR
Work and Rest Requirements
In addition to the general duty to not drive a fatigue-regulated heavy vehicle on a road while fatigued, drivers must comply with certain maximum work and minimum rest limits.
Work and Rest Requirements – NHVR
Fatigue Video – Get Your Diary Right
This video was put together to help drivers complete their Work Diary under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL). It was produced by TDT Victoria with the assistance of funding provided through the Federal Department of Industry.
Counting Time
Drivers and other responsible parties in the supply chain are required by law to count work and rest times in a specific way. Understand the rules for counting work and rest times for fatigue-regulated heavy vehicle drivers.
Electronic Work Diary
An Electronic Work Diary (EWD) is an electronic device or system approved by the NHVR to monitor and record the work and rest times and can be used by drivers as an alternative to making records in a written work diary.
