Operators with BFM accreditation can operate under more flexible work and rest hours, allowing for (among other things) work of up to 14 hours in a 24-hour period. BFM gives operators some flexibility in when drivers can work and rest, as long as the risks of driver fatigue are properly managed.

National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation (NHVAS) modules were developed to support the National Transport Commission’s (NTC) Heavy Vehicle Driver Fatigue (HVDF) reform. The new laws took effect on 28th September 2008.

BFM – what do you need to do?

  • Drivers need to be trained by an RTO in TLIF2010A
  • Drivers need to have a current appropriate medical
  • Schedulers (anyone who gives loading instructions) must have TLIF6307A or TLIF3063A.
  • Set up a Fatigue Management System that can be audited against the BFM Standards to be approved by the NHVR

Benefits of HVDF accreditation include:

  • Better fatigue management practices
  • Meeting ‘general duty’ obligations
  • More flexibility with rostering
  • Alignment with WHS laws
  • Assures customers that fatigue risks are managed effectively
  • Improved road safety
  • All drivers and schedulers are trained in the fatigue legislation  and management  processes
