The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) is reminding heavy vehicle drivers to follow work and rest requirements ahead of a campaign to reduce fatigue related crashes on national roads.
The campaign, which runs from 18-23 September across NSW, is part of the NHVR’s regulatory strategy to inform, educate and enforce – whether via on-road compliance or industry engagement.
In the past year there have been 48 fatalities from heavy vehicle crashes in NSW, with approximately 65 per cent of fatal crashes occurring outside the metropolitan area.
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) officially unveiled its Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), in a moving ceremony on Tuesday, August 1.
The Nunukul Yuggera Aboriginal Dance Company performed a Welcoming to Country, smoking ceremony and a traditional performance to commemorate the milestone occasion.
The ceremony featured original artwork by local Indigenous artist Dylan Sarra, symbolising the NHVR’s connection with country and First Nations peoples through the organisation’s four strategic pillars: safety, productivity, sustainability, and regulatory capability.
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) is seeking expressions of interest to participate in an NHVR commissioned safety project to improve the use of Fatigue and Distraction Detection Technologies (FDDT).
NHVR Chief Executive Officer Sal Petroccitto said the FDDT safety project will provide practical support to heavy vehicle transport businesses to help them implement and use the technologies.
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) is urging heavy vehicle drivers to remain vigilant with their National Written Work Diary (WWD) or Electronic Work Diary (EWD) and follow work and rest requirements.
A state-wide operation was triggered in New South Wales, after a considerable number of penalty notices issued in NSW were found to be linked to fatigue related offences.
