Basic Fatigue Management (BFM)

Formerly known as the Transitional Fatigue Management Scheme the current Basic Fatigue Management (BFM) gives operators a greater say in when drivers can work and rest providing the risk of working long and night hours is properly managed. With a BFM Accreditation you can operate under more flexible work and rest hours, as long as the risks of driver fatigue are properly managed.

A BFM Accreditation provides drivers an additional two hours work time (14 hours instead of the 12 standard hours.  By achieving accreditation, companies can considerably increase their driver efficiency and increase their profitability.  Accreditation provides an additional two hour buffer for drivers which reduces the likelihood of large fines for exceeding driving hours.  

Safety Risk Business Solutions conduct audits and prepare systems that allow operators to achieve accreditation to BFM through the National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme.
