Hi, quick question, if anyone can assist - do rest / work periods for local work (within 100km of base) require recording and, if so, do rest / work periods round up / down as they do in an NHVR work diary?
hi there. you DO NOT need to fill out a page in the work diary if you are working within 100ks of your base, however you do need to carry a work diary on you , if you run bfm(basic fatigue managment) you do and regarding work/rest periods, i myself round to the nearest 15min block. example. if i pull up somewhere and it is 11.12am, ill put it down as 11.15am, but if i pu;; up at say 11.06 ill put down as 11am. hope this helps
@@smpvs1 thanks, so you round up/down but not as strictly as work diary. Seems there is little / no legislation on local hours and break times rounding up / down.
You don't need to fill your work diary out for local work (less than 100km radius from where the truck is parked), but you need to carry it at all times, regardless of what sort of fatigue management plan you're working on. If you do travel more than 100km from base in a day - say to Noosa, for example, if your base is at Crestmead, for Brisbane drivers - then you need to fill in the diary for all work done on that day, not just the trip outside the 100km zone. Rounding down break start times, as suggested by someone else, is not the right thing to do. It's just robbing yourself of a break. The 100km exemption exists to save local drivers, who are doing lots of stops, from the trouble and cost of filling out and replacing the book, but the actual fatigue laws still apply. You still have the same work and rest hour requirements, but it's to be expected that your employer will have good records of those, and your time sheets and run sheets will be their record. Some employers put a line from a work diary at the bottom of run sheets to allow you to fill it in as you go, and to give them a good record. EWDs make the whole process easier, in my view. There's heaps of different apps that have been approved these days.
