SAFETY MADE SIMPLER IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 


GET A WORK DIARY


THERE ARE SAFER WAYS TO GET SOME SLEEP.



Fatigue is the #1 Killer for heavy vehicle accidents...

so we've heavily invested in creating solutions which make fatigue management so
much simpler but still really meaningful.

Mr Ballantyne was a Heavy vehicle operator and did not take the correct breaks
and did not accurately take into account what was work and what was rest.



Even though the judge was sympathetic and agreed that the HVNL was overly
complex and the logbook examples were confusing, Ballantyne was still fined the
maximum penalty.

 

It is imperative to count time correctly and that you have systems in place to
stop situations like the Ballantyne case, from occurring in your business.

IN THE CASE OF BALLANTYNE V NHVR




BECAUSE HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND


FINED


$15K




What started out as an intent to keep budgets on track and operators safe from
just tapping a few buttons, has led to a much simpler way of doing business and
reducing stress levels. People make better decisions and are better to be around
when they’re not as stressed.



We knew that if we could reduce stress from the industry then we could also
increase safety and productivity.

 

In the past increasing productivity meant reducing safety. But here’s the
reality:

RESHAPING OBSTACLES INTO SUCCESSES


KNOW YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY

- Justice David Peek, SA Supreme Court




Unfortunately, although the law may be confusing and difficult to discern,
ignorance of the HVNL is not a defence to a contravention.

You must have a 15min break. Whenever you take the break is up to you, but you
can’t start working again after 51/2 hrs until you’ve had your 15min break.



In any 5.5hr period

Max work time: 5.25 hrs


HOW FATIGUE HOURS WORKS



You must have at least two 15min breaks before recommencing work and you still
have to abide by the 51/2 hr period breaks. Spacing out your breaks is a good
way to ensure you’re not fatigued. 



In any 8hr period

Max work time: 7.5 hrs

You have to have at least four 15min breaks.



In any 11hr period

Max work time: 10 hrs

If you know you’re going to travel more than 100 km radius from your home base,
you must complete a work diary from the start of the day.

 

If you unexpectantly need to travel more than 100 km radius from your home base
you must complete a work diary including the start of the day and all the travel
thereafter.

 

This means that if you are driving a regulated heavy vehicle, you need to
consider where you are travelling too before you start the vehicle.  Think -
will this travel take me outside my 100 km Radius?

 

This also means that you will need to record the odometer reading at the start
of each day just in case. Check - your odometer and record it so I don’t have to
work it out later.


WHEN DO I HAVE TO RECORD TRAVEL?

Rest time is all time that is not work time.

Break/Rest Time



According to the regulation, work time for the operation of heavy vehicles
includes:

 * loading and unloading the vehicle

 * inspecting, servicing or repair work

 * attending to the load

 * cleaning or refuelling the vehicle

 * instructing or supervising others including learning to drive a heavy
   vehicle, learning a new route, making deliveries, etc.

 * recording information or completing a document (eg. your work diary)
