HOS * Australia - BIC seeks fatigue resolution as truckies gain AFM approval
Sydney,Australia - ABC -11 March 2009: -- A fatigue management scheme extending the operating parameters for heavy vehicle drivers, working predominantly out of standard hours, may be the only option for operators and drivers running Night Rider services if ensuing talks between the bus industry and governments fail to resolve the new fatigue law issues... Three transport operators have managed to gain accreditation under an Advanced Fatigue Management (AFM) scheme. However, all are in the trucking industry. The Bus Industry Confederation (BIC) says no bus or coach operators have tried for accreditation under the AFM to date... Michael Apps from the BIC says a meeting between governments and associations on April 1, will seek to deliver a solution to the fatigue issues... Apps says most bus and coach operators would only need, as a maximum, the flexibility of Basic Fatigue Management (BFM), which, in theory, should be able to be achieved through their existing accreditation processes...* Driving hours confusion 'sorted out' after meeting
Australia -ATN -11 Mar 2009: -- Regulators 'sort out' some of the confusion over driving hours, but other issues still under consideration... Labels: HOS regulations
