Fatigue Management Courses
National heavy vehicle driver fatigue laws apply to fatigue-regulated heavy vehicles. Specifically, vehicles which are:
- a vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of over 12t
- a combination when the total of the GVM is over 12t
- buses with a GVM over 4.5t fitted to carry more than 12 adults (including the driver)
- a truck, or a combination including a truck, with a GVM of over 12t with a machine or implement attached.
These units of competency provide drivers, schedulers, supervisors, and managers with information critical to the effective management of the risk of fatigue, in road transport operations.
The specific units are:
- TLIF0005 - Apply a fatigue risk management system (replaces unit TLIF2010)
- TLIF0006 - Administer a fatigue risk management system (replaces unit TLIF3063)
- TLIF0007 - Manage a fatigue risk management system (optional)
These courses provide the knowledge and skills required to administer and manage a fatigue risk management system.
The programs focus on managing fatigue and are available for everyone in a road transport organisation, including corporate staff, drivers, and those working in scheduling and management.
