According to the Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy
۲۰۱۲-۲۰۲۲, the prevention of road transport accidents has been
identified as a national priority, and efforts have been made by
national regulators to prevent heavy vehicle-related workplace
incidents and accidents. In recent years, much attention has been
given to heavy vehicle drivers’ fatigue management. Increasing
evidence suggests that long working hours negatively influence
heavy vehicle drivers’ physiology, health, and safety. However,
there is little empirical research in the heavy vehicle transport
sector in Australia to identify the influence of working hours
management on drivers’ fatigue and consequently, on the risk of
crashes and injuries. There is no national legislation regulating the
number of hours or kilometres travelled by heavy vehicle drivers.
Consequently, it is almost impossible to define a standard number
of hours or kilometres for heavy vehicle drivers in a safety
management system. This paper reviews the existing studies
concerning safe system interventions such as tachographs in
relation to fatigue caused by long working hours. This paper also
reviews the literature to identify the influence of frequency of rest
breaks on the reduction of work-related road transport accidents
involving heavy vehicles. A framework from existing studies is
presented to manage heavy vehicle drivers’ fatigue, which may
result in the reduction of injuries and fatalities involving heavy
vehicles.
