Fatigue management laws to be reformed

Basic Fatigue Management (BFM) will be reformed, after NSW claimed the scheme has failed to attract trucking operators due to its inflexibility.

The National Transport Commission (NTC) has agreed to a request to look at work and rest periods under the BFM module, which limits drivers to 14-hour workdays and proscribed rest breaks.

Following meetings with industry groups and trucking operators, Roads Minister Michael Daley contacted the NTCs Greg Martin requesting a review of the scheme, saying governments need to do more to encourage BFM uptake.

Some trucking companies may have lost flexibility under the scheme, and this might encourage them to stick with the traditional approach of relying on a driver filling in a record of how much driving he has done, Daley says.
