NHVAS Basic Fatigue Management

The advantages of Basic Fatigue Certification to our business are to better manage fatigue using a risk management approach instead of regulated driving hours regime to enhance the operation of our road transport businesses.

The Basic Fatigue Certification comprises of documented assurance systems, policies, procedures and records that demonstrate management. Evaluations of the system are also in place to ensure compliance with agreed fatigue management standards are met at all times.

The advantages are:

• Drivers are more involved in understanding scheduling from their own training and hence ensure that their own fatigue management strategies are incorporated (such as preferred rest times, places and frequencies);
• Drivers are more likely to have sufficient time for the work at hand,
• Drivers are less likely to commence the trip already feeling tired;
• Drivers are less likely to feel fatigue-impaired while on a trip;
• Drivers are less likely to break the speed limit in order to meet a deadline.
