Abstract
The Heavy Vehicle Driver Fatigue reform, which introduced a new three-tier approach to managing heavy vehicle driver fatigue, was agreed by Ministers of the Australian Transport Council (ATC) in February 2007. It was implemented in four states (Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia) on the 29 September 2008. This paper focuses on the fourth characteristic of the Heavy Vehicle Driver Fatigue reform – the hours of work and rest. (Author/publisher)
