COURSE OBJECTIVE:

This program informs Drivers and Managers/Schedulers with the knowledge to assist them to comply with the Fatigue Management rules effective 29th September 2008. It provides drivers and operational staff with the skills and knowledge needed to manage personal fatigue effectively in heavy vehicle truck driving.

PLEASE BE AWARE:

This course may be taken at any time, but for access to the extended driving hours under BFM/AFM, a driver must also be employed by an employer (or yourself as owner driver) who is registered as a BFM/AFM operator and has a BFM/AFM number. This requires being NHVAS accredited (including audit of the company’s risk management arrangements for fatigue). This accreditation is not required for a person to obtain the qualifications referred to here.
