Fatigue Management
National Heavy Vehicle Fatigue Laws apply to fatigue regulated heavy vehicles. Please refer to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator for all Fatigue Management related information:

Work Diary Requirements
A work diary is evidence that a driver’s work and rest hours are compliant with the law and that their fatigue is being managed.
Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) the NHVR is the only authority that can approve EWD systems and services.
Section 343 of the HVNL states what the NHVR must be satisfied with in order to approve an EWD. This will be supported by appropriate Standards and guidelines.
At this time, no EWDs have been approved for use.
